I haven't heard of this. You may have a scam going on. If you got an email don't use that link to go to paypal; close your browser and reopen it and go to paypal on your own. When you log onto Paypal there is a message section that will let you know if they need anything from you. There are so many scams out there and paypal has alot of them. I get emails from them all the time telling me I need to update my account and to click on the link; some even tell me that if I don't they'll cancel my account. I've never done it and my account is still good. I got them too right after Wells Fargo went large and I haven't had an account with them in over 5yrs so I knew it didn't come from them..
