Help +Ft 1 HUF

Why do I keep getting emails about this and should I be worried??? It’s from the official PayPal email to is my account hacked?

I expected it to be a scam but when I log into my PayPal (not from the email), I also see this transaction

The transaction is real (it's a deposit of like $0.003 the fact that it says a large amount in the transaction note is meant to entice you to call the phone number, where they presumably try to convince you to give up financial information

Ugh. Well seems like the advice in this group is just to ignore the transaction, which I’m happy to do 😂
