It isn't just PayPal. I've been getting a few dozen that come from PayPal, banks, credit card companies, and others. They are all scams. The people doing this send them out in hopes that you have an account with the company listed and click on the link they provide. You get routed to a server they setup that traps all the info you type out. Now they have your account info.
ANY company that sends you an email saying to update your records over the web should be questioned. Don't follow the link. The hyperlink in the the email looks something like -support.paypal.com- but if you view the source of the email you'll find the real IP address and it isn't PayPal. I traced a few of these and sent notices to the companies being scammed and the real IP address hiding behind it.

Of course, some scams are far less sophisticated.
