I’ve had a text message talking about unusual activity on my account. Apparently a different IP has tried to login. It says to login to my account to unlock account. Is this dodgy?

Hi @EHodg,
Thank you for your post and for your caution. if the email is asking you to log in via a link or button, it is likely a fake email. You can always check the status of your account by opening a fresh browser and visiting PayPal.com.
I hope this helps!
