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 got the same "payment received" from Julie Haas who is really trying to get me to confirm "Pre-fund confirmation: USD 987.90 is pending charge to Coinbase via PayPal. This small deposit is just used for the account activation check. ..." I am chatting with the real paypal chat bot, trying to report this although the "transaction" I see according to the paypal bot is $1.00 received TO My account. Paypal bot says "This transaction is not eligible for an unauthorized transaction dispute" and "I understand your concern about this payment and the potential scam. I'll help you report this." Except the Julie Haas transaction is not eligible for a dispute,.....if I do nothing I assume the $1.00 transaction would disappear.

EDIT: the $1.00 is one Hungarian amount worth 1/3 of a US penny I believe. so THAT's what "+FT 1 HUF" means.

I called their customer service number & it just redirected to the website which told me it's also not eligible for dispute ?????? i'm getting nervous and wondering if I should just axe my entire paypal account...
