"We’re concerned about potential unauthorized activity"

Really Frustrated!

 

About a week ago, I tried to login to my account because a transaction did not work because of an error. But, when I logged in it says "We’re concerned about potential unauthorized activity." Confirming my identity was not a problem first, thinking this is usual thing to happen to people on PayPal, because of their high security. But once i click the button to verify, it sends me to something i need to fill out. There's a drop down menu with Text Me, Call Me, and Confirm Identity in another way (takes longer), so I clicked on text me. When I fill out a new number because the number that was given in the drop down menu to text was no longer available, I clicked the continue button. But once I clicked it, nothing happened. I was still on the same url. There was text under the first dropdown menu saying "Click 'I agree that I will be texted'" But there was no check box. Why was everything not working?
