Although it's an obvious scam and it amazes me people have to ask about it these days you are so very, very wrong. Paypal won't call you and WILL e-mail. However, they won't send you off to any URL to enter details. It'll usually be handled simply by logging in normally to your account or by you contacting them in return.
