That little research for the real email and hyperlink is so easy and yet ignored by so many who just blindly click.
Fortunately, you took the cautious route and hopefully it will help you avoid future scams.

Is the email really from PayPal? Did you check the real email address of the sender?
Did you check for information by signing into your PayPal account on a computer?
There is no reason to click the link. Did you hover over the link to verify?
In any case, just ignore or forward to spoof at PayPal.com
