hello @summer111
the link is fraudulent /
[!] I remind you that it is simple to verify that an email is true, and that it comes from PayPal.
The procedure is simple, you transfer it (not copy / paste, but transfer to ...) to spoof@paypal.fr or spoof@paypal.com
within 24 hours the automatic PayPal server will confirm by email that
'it is true or not.

Its a spoof, NEVER USE ANY LINK.
Firstly if the email/text addressed you as ''Dear Member'' / ''Customer'' / ''Client'' OR your ''email address'' then that confirms its a spoof as paypal would address you by your full name eg Dear John Smith.
Secondly if there was a link OR attachment in that email/text to ''cancel'' any transaction or ''confirm'' any details then again it would be a spoof.
If there was a problem with your account Paypal would not ask you to click on an unsafe link in an email or by downloading an attachment, they would direct you to log in normally and go to the resolution or the message centre for more information.

Did you enter any personal information or log in when you clicked the link?
If so then change your password AND security questions asap and make sure your personal information is all correct on your account.
