I received an email with this subject - Add your trust beneficiaries
it has a link in the email. It says my account will be limited if I don’t complete this by the end of this month. I don’t want to click this link until I’m sure it is legit. Can anyone help please?
thanks heaps

Hi @Armadi,
Welcome to the PayPal Community and thank you for your post!
I do understand your concern with this. It sounds like PayPal may be trying to confirm your identity. In order to confirm your identity on a business account, we may require you to provide some additional business information.
For tips on how to spot fake emails/messages, please follow the steps here.
To check if an email you received is genuine, the best thing to do is login to your PayPal account, not through any links. If we were requesting you to provide any information, the request would show in your PayPal Notifications or Resolution Center.
If you have any further concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Support. To contact us, simply click here. Alternatively, you can contact us via Facebook https://www.facebook.com/PayPal or Twitter @AskPayPal.
I hope this helps!
