Someone used my email address to make a paypal account!

[squished]

Someone has used an email address very similar to mine to make a paypal account and their emails are being forwarded to me..

the address they used is <blah> at googlemail.com and mine is <blah> at gmail.com

google fowards all mail from at googlemail.com to at gmail.com

this means if I wanted to (and I certainly don't!) I could hack this persons paypal account... I have emailed paypal twice and had no response! and I don't want to ring them as the only numbers I can find are US and I'm in New Zealand.

That is an interesting situation.  If you received the password login info in one of those emails, then you could login to the account, and under Profile select, Close Account.

But, try contacting PayPal first, or email them the following Google link:
