I got the same message and have just wasted 1/2 hour of my life checking this out. If it is not a scam, then paypal should be ashamed of the way they made this announcement. I got a clear message that my browser was NOT compliant. I used their method to check version number (they said look under "tools"- that did not work). My version of internet explorer was 11.48*****. The list said they needed version 11 or above. THAT'S WHAT I HAVE! Then I tried their method of seeing whether my browser could open their help page. The browser had no problem. And yet paypal's message was I AM NOT COMPLIANT (yes I am yelling). If this is a scam, ignore everything I have to say. If this was some paypal's lazy method of forcing everyone to check their browser using scare tactics, then whoever had this idea should be given additional training in customer service.
