I have 2 family and friends options that I have no knowledge of. How would they have got there and how do I remove them as it's a little bit unsettling to have 2 people who have got into my list of payees who I don't know.

Would be helpful if PAYPAL made this more prominent information.

 

*still doesn't explain why/how those names got into your list in the first place.

it coulkd be your privacy isnt blocking contacts and a psooble scan of your contact list or credit check or your name checked i noticed they have many sites that give up al whole lot more then many consumers are probably not even aware of its absurd and thge other absurd thing is its really just public info but with way world is too many are out to hurt others these days.but anyway GL to you and your Family in this case 😉
