Hello, I find out that my another email is used by paypal as well. I have access to this email but the phone numer is not mine (from my ex wife).
What can I do?

At least the phone number is not belonging to some stranger. You’ll need ex wife’s help to log on by receiving sms text code at her phone number and add another email address as the primary email address and then remove your email address.
For further customer service assistance:

Click “Message Us” or “Call Us” option on the bottom.
Or reach out to PayPal at Facebook or Twitter:
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

But its like stranger, she is using it without that I know.
She is a criminal so I cant contact her to solve this.
What else options do I have? I have access to this email address but cant do anything

Hi @MARO13,
Thank you for your post!
I am sorry to hear this has happened. I appreciate receiving unsolicited emails about an account being made can be so concerning.
In order to get some help with this, please review the following Help Center article: Why am I receiving emails from PayPal when I don’t have an account?
I hope this helps. Have a lovely day!
Rebecca
