Hi, I think I've just been hacked. I got an email saying I've added a [removed] to my account (which I didn't do), and also enable 2 factor authentication (which I didn't do).
Further, now I can't seem to login with my paypal email to change my password 😞
Any advice on what I should do next? Thanks so much for your wisdom!

Sorry, I got hacked and called the number before I read the warning about no calling any number on the screen. I was able to change my password before being locked out of acccount. I can get on Paypal with phone but not computer. I know this didn't help but am looking and if I find anything else I will post.
