Being proactive, I would recommend freezing your 3B if you did provide the information.

I have a concern and that is why I signed up for credit monitoring. I recently received an email that requested my driver's license #and my SS#. I thought it was coming from PayPal, but my brothers informed me that I was probably spoofed. Any tips for moving forward?
If you provided the information or clicked on a link in the email, Freeze your credit reports and file a police report for starters.
You should be able to check your PayPal account to see if they actually sent you an email.
While I can't guarantee no bank will email you with a request for that information, banks usually make that request on their website when you first apply for an account or they send you a letter through the mail (United States Postal Service) with instructions on how to supply the documents securely.
