Hello @ashleyjanezz221,
Thanks for joining the PayPal Community!
I understand you received some concerning emails, and I apologize for the concern they have caused. You can learn how to determine if an email is from PayPal on our Help Center here: How do I spot and report a fake, fraudulent, spoof, or phishing emails? If you determine it was from PayPal and there was an unauthorized transaction on your account, please file an unauthorized dispute right away. You'll also want to change your password and security questions. I also suggest setting up 2-Step Verification.
I hope you find the emails weren't from PayPal!
- Meghan
