I received email with similar type of information. Actually, called the number in the email and they texted me a confirmation code which appeared to be from a PayPal text number (at least it went into same text messaging list as other PayPal responses). Can provide the weblink it was sent to PayPak security if they ever call me back. Apparently, there is a 2 hour wait list for call back right now! Anyway, the person I spoke when I called the number in email, proceeded to try to convince me that someone(s) had opened a loan account with my PayPal and charged over $10,000 at 4 different locations to the account. They then proceeded to tell me that they could suspend the account for an hour, but I would have to go to a location and follow a procedure to get the 4 charges cancelled from my account. I went along with this and, when I got to the local CVS they sent me to, they said I needed to purchase Google Play Cards, at $100 each, and give them the encryption codes to try to cancel out the 4 fraudulent charges! They made a point of saying not to tell anyone why I was buying them or that it was related to a PayPal account problem!
