Random Security Updates

I have received two e-mails in the past week from PayPal requiring that I update my information such as bank account and credit card.  Is this a scam or is this something that PayPal does on a regular basis?  I do not recall ever reading anything about this when I signed up.

 

Can someone please help me?

I got the same email once this past week and it said if I didn't they would shut my account down.  Did your 

email say the same thing.  I don't want to reply unless I know it is legit, as it could be a scam.

 

Plus I just noticed this information next to this reply and here is what it says:

Sounds like the email is a scam to me.

Most likely another phishing scam, as there are quite a few.   Check out this link and forward the email you received to the spoof address.

Thanks for responding.  I did end up forwarding it to the spoof e-mail.
