Just log on to your account directly at PayPal.com.  Do not click any email links.  If nothing wrong, the email is fake.  That is the only way to absolutely confirm if there is a problem with your account.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

It is quite obvious the Log in Here is NO a PayPal link.

 

If you check the origination email you would find, also, that it is not a PayPal email address.
