I just received an email that someone used my email to create a new paypal business account. I do not have a paypal account under that email and they tried to link another email to that account as well. I cannot access this to change anything as they made the password. When I try to click on forgot password to get it sent to me, it says the account doesn't exist. I'm very confused and don't know what to do.

The email you received is probably a fake or spoofed. And an account was never established.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
