MESSAGE FROM PAYPAL, NEW ADDRESS ADDED

[BYPASSJO]

I received a message, supposedly from PayPal on Jan 24th saying that I had added a new address to my PayPal account!  I certainly did not!  The address is listed.  What shall I do about this?  I did report this to PayPal but to date, no response.  It came in my regular mail, and of course, I opened it up!

Hi, I've just recently come across this scam as it was sent to my Mother.  The scam works by informing you that an unknown email address has been added to your account, but the clever part is that the 'inform us that I didn't request this' link takes you to a fake paypal login page.

I hope for your sake you didn't use this link to tell paypal about the request. Might be worth changing your password anyway as a precaution.

I did not reply to it and yes it did request that I sign in to PayPal.  I have since changed my password. Thanks for the response.  I got a strange feeling the moment I read that message.  Just was not right!

Thank you
