When I logged into PayPal, I got the following message.

"Security Measures

We are currently performing regular maintenance of our security measures. Your account has been randomly selected for this maintenance, and you will now be taken through a series of identity verification pages.

Protecting the security of your PayPal account is our primary concern, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Bank Account Information : " and wanting me to verify it. Since they already have my info, I’m wondering if this is normal?
I logged into PayPal using both the "http" and "https." Was going to check my account balance and got that message both times.

I can’t even get a phone number so I can phone PayPal to see if this is really legitimate. I thought maybe it was because I had a different computer but got the message even using a PC I’ve used there before.

NO you are probably not at the real paypal. You are most likely at a PHISHING site that will store your information and use it to steal your account and identity. Only go to paypal by typing in https://www.paypal.com/ in your address bar (make sure it’s https for extra security). Don’t use links unless you know 100% that they are legit.
