Security Codes

I started receiving security code texts from Paypal out of the blue.  Not sure why or if they're real.  

 

Anyone else?

Hello @jeff_simpson99

Thanks for joining the PayPal Community! 

I understand you recently started receiving security texts when you're not trying to log into your account. I'm sorry to hear that. To ensure your PayPal account is secure, I recommend resetting your password and security questions. You can also add an extra layer of security to your PayPal account by setting up 2-Step Verification. If you notice any unauthorized transactions, please report them immediately by following the steps in our Help Center. 

I hope this information helps!
