E-mail verification for an account I did not create

[bkc56]

Someone created a PayPal account using an email address of mine.  Do I need to do anything, or just ignore it (leave it unverified)?

I found a similar thread on the forum, but the linked help article no longer exists.

The person has had money sent to them, which they can't get until the e-mail address is confirmed (which I'm not doing).  They've also done a password change (not sure how that works without a verified e-mail address).

More notifications today, including a change of e-mail address.  Not sure how they did that without a verified e-mail.  But I'm going to assume they fixed it.

And I never did hear from PayPal as to what one is supposed to do when this happens.
