it's just spam... someone is trying to hack into a paypal account by getting you to reply with your password & information so they can use your account. It's a scam that's been going on for a few years now.

Serious companies NEVER ask you to confirm your details via an email.

if you get a email that asks you to re-enter your account information, ignore it. It's guaranteed fake, and just an attempt to steal your identity online.

I get about 2 of those every day

If you want to be sure, just TYPE the website in your browser and check your account. The links in the email will be fake.
