It’s not only PayPal. I’ve had these emails from apple, sams club, and others. You never want to call the number in the email. If you want to check, call the number from their website and ask them or check the status of your account from their website.
BTW: new to PayPal. I have money in PayPal due to a sale and now in order for PayPal to write me a check, I have to link a debit card or bank acct to PayPal. I called them and told them I probably have had 50 sales where PayPal has sent me a check in the past, now they require a linked bank account. I will never use PayPal again
