Text from PayPal

Dear all, I am new here and I would greatly appreciate it if you guys can give me some advice. I have received a text message from a "PP support "saying " We have detected suspicious activity on your PayPal account so your account has been restricted please use this link to restore access" Since I have been using PayPal quite a lot recently I was stupid enough to believe that it's genuine .clicked on the link. It took me to a page which looked the same as the Paypal page . I logged in with my details but then I started to feel suspicious as it took me to a page "http://paypal-restrict.uk/Verify.php?&sessionid=juAnYF7GGoWf9hFpsYyZ7uZY3ULYjPECjeZiU7ZBvVREdw3GuBGB..." That ask for my debit card info and address. I closed the window immediately and went to change my password and everything looks fine so far . However will the people who set out the scam still be able to access my account as I have logged in with my old details after clicking the link??

Hi there,

 

Welcome to the PayPal Community.

 

Once you changed your password and security questions there should be no issues. We will only contact you by email, always address you by your full name and never ask you to click on any links to provide personal information.
