Hi I received and replied to what I now know was a spoof email. Unfortunately I'd already answered the questions it wanted to know about, I'm just wondering if I need another new password. If so this will be the 2nd one in less than a week. I've already made PayPal aware of the spoof email. Many thanks xx

Yes, you should change your password. You should also notify your bank if you gave any personal details related to your debit/credit cards. Watch your accounts for any unauthorized transactions.
It may be a good idea to stop clicking on links in emails you're unsure of. You can go to the website directly to log in and see if you have any notices, or transactions in your account.
There is also a Security Key feature in your account that will require a one time SMS pin be sent to your phone, every time you log in. This a good way to lock down your account.
