Why would paypal email you to call them ? If they want something from you they should either call you or email it to you or show it in their portal.

I don't know, most PayPal customers wouldn't know either. And the point is that these emails are designed to look legit and also scare you into taking action without thinking about it too hard. And this particular email bypasses a lot of the rules in general consciousness about phishing like "check for spelling mistakes, check the sender email, does it look official, does it mention you by name", all of those boxes are ticked. This is only possible because PayPal clearly aren't actively fighting against these kinds of attacks.
