I have received a letter this morning purporting to be from PayPal, which apparently relates to a PayPal account with an AOL email address. The letter states that this account has been inactive for the past year, and this will result in me having to pay an Inactivity Service Fee, if I don't reactivate it. My husband has checked his PayPal account which only shows the two emails he has used for at least 10 years, and my account likewise only shows my last two emails. Both our PayPal accounts are frequently used. Neither shows the aforementioned AOL Email address, although we did use AOL as our service provider at the end of the 1990's and early 2000's. I am obviously concerned that this is some form of scam. Most concerning of course is the fact that this old out-of-date account has clearly been cross related to account which I currently use, so that they could send the letter, and we have only stayed at our current address for less than 2 years. I await an official response from PayPal, but in the meantime, can anyone offer advice ?
