If you're unsure of an email or text, go to the PayPal site directly (don't click any links in the email or text) and log into your account to see if you have any notices or transactions listed.

 

If you clicked any links in the text and entered your password you should change it.

 

Here are PayPal links with details on fake emails and texts.
