Dear XXXXXXXXX,
Reference #PP-500-568-533-736

We're concerned that someone is using your PayPal account without your knowledge. Please log in to PayPal to confirm your identity and review all your recent activity. Your quick response will help restore your account.

What's going on?

Your financial institution let us know that recent transfers between your PayPal account and your bank account were unauthorized. We want to make sure that you authorized any recent PayPal payments.

What to do

Log in to your PayPal account as soon as possible. We may ask you to confirm information you provided when you created your account to make sure you're the account holder. We'll then ask you to change your password and security questions.

You should also do the following for your own protection:

  • Check your account details (address, email, phone, etc.) to make sure they're accurate.
  • Review your account activity to make sure you recognize the transactions made recently.
  • Report any unknown or unauthorized activity. Go to the Resolution Center and click Dispute a Transaction.


Log On Account Now Sincerely,
PayPal
