Hi @BreS29,
I'm sorry to hear that you received the email you describe. That is a fake email intended to get you to disclose sensitive information to a fraudster. Please do not click the button and do not provide any personal information.
If you ever do have an issue with your account, that will be able to be seen by logging directly into your account without following any links, by visiting PayPal.com. There would be messaging indicating that action is necessary in the Resolution Center.
I hope this helps!
Olivia
