Fraudulent emails from <removed>

i recieved an email from <removed> today, referring to a payment i had been expecting, addressed to my email id (not my full name). It had the exact amount and the name of the sender i had been expecting the payment from. the email also had a link to 'claim your money'. I didn't think much and clicked the link, logged in to my paypal account and searched everywhere for the payment amount. I realised later that it could be a phishing email. 

i have changed my passwords, added security questions and about a minute after i changed my password, i recieved another email from <removed> to call on a certain nmber (+https://www.paypal.com/selfhelp/contact/call) if i didnt change it. 

what was way more weird was that this time, the email mentioned my 'full name'.

Can anyone help me out? my bank accounts are linked to my paypal account.
