Hello @mdm54,
 

Welcome to PayPal Community Forum and thank you for posting!
 

I am sorry to know that you're facing issues while linking your bank account and I understand this must be concerning. As per the information that you have shared please be advised that sometimes, our system automatically detects and stops certain actions than the usual activities and this is a part of account security. The risk may trigger again and again when you attempt to take the same action simultaneously. In this case, I would request you try adding the bank at a later time. Meanwhile, do not initiate any changes in your account. Also, you can try adding a different bank account to see if this works. Kindly make sure you are logging from a secure location and avoid using any VPNs or Proxy Servers. If the issue still persists, kindly check the Resolution Center to see if there are any notifications about your account status and the unresolved steps if found. I appreciate your quick action taken toward the fake email, thanks for getting that to our attention.

Good Luck,
Ayesha
