Someone has paid money into my account and then opened a dispute within 12 hours. I am not selling anything and it’s from a different country, I can’t read the messages. I have now received a dispute from PayPal and I have also received 2 messages to update my details and that I have a dispute and that my account is locked, these messages don’t include my full name. What do I need to do? Thankyou

Hi @Relay1081,
Thank you for your first post in the community!
I would add to what @Narendar1 said, that the aforementioned action should only be taken directly on your account. Don't follow any links in the emails you received, as they may not be legitimate.
I hope this information is helpful!
