I just got a weird email from PayPal here’s what it read:
> Hello Censored,
>

Then I manually typed in paypal dot com into my browser since there were no links in the email. I tried to log in and it prompted me to enter my bank account and credit card infomation which I have not done yet. Has anyone seen this before? Is it legit?
