Hello @Re301,
Welcome to the PayPal Community! I can certainly understand how receiving unrequested security codes can be quite concerning. I would normally recommend logging into your account and changing your password just as a precaution. However, a sure-fire way to fix this is to update the email address you use to login with PayPal. Hopefully by updating your login information, that security code will no longer be sent to your email.
Good luck,
- Jon K
