Scammers use fake Paypal e-mails all the time to try to steal your personal information. They even set up fake Paypal sites that appear just like the real thing. E-mails threatening to suspend your account, etc. are very common (I get at least one a week).
Once your account is set up, Paypal will not ask you for any personal information or confirmation electronically. Certainly not a PIN number. I repeat. Once your account is set up, Paypal will not ask you for any personal information or confirmation electronically. Ever. You're being scammed.

Call your bank and let them know what you've done right now. It may be possible to save your bank account.
Then you should immediately open your PayPal account by directly entering the address http://www.paypal.com and change your password! Send a copy of the email you answered to spoof@paypal.com
