Hello @Cyber1234, Welcome to the Community and thanks for posting.

 

I can confirm that these emails were not sent from us, and I am so sorry that you received them. We will not ask you to send a £250 Amazon voucher via email. If you still have the email, please forward it to spoof@paypal.com. If you happened to click on any of the links in the emails, please change your PayPal password and security questions at your earliest convenience by following the steps listed here: https://www.paypal.com/smarthelp/article/FAQ1440 You may want to first run a virus scan, just to make sure that you didn't pick something up from clicking any links. You can also read more about how to spot fake emails here: https://www.paypal.com/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-report-a-fake-paypal-email-or-website-faq438.

 

I hope this helps,

 

- Sean
