I’m so dumb that I didn’t know it’s email from scammers pretend to be PayPal. I thought there was some hacker used my PayPal account to purchase stuff. So I clicked that button “view transaction” from that email quickly without hesitation. ... View more

Hi Everyone, I would like you to confirm me this is real email from paypal or fake email? Because I didn’t recent purchase and didn’t use my account long time ago. But i got this email to view my account. And when i clicked the botton view transaction it linked me to paypal. And i was forced to put my informations sush as my name, ssn, debit card. But if I didn’t finish filling informations i can’t view my account. And after I finished it my account is activated. But I wondered and being worried that there’s not transaction on my account and not recent purchase but why i got email from paypal that i recent purchase. Could you please tell me and confirm me this is real email from paypal or fake email from scammers? If it’s fake email from paypal, what should i do next?
