I just received an email notification, from PayPal (not a scam/invalid email) that I just added a new phone # to my account. Looking at the #, I can guess that it's likely that it was my OLD phone #, one I had on there for many years, but only just removed it within the last 1-2 years. The trouble is, I did not add or remove any #'s at the time the email was sent (6:45 am! - in which I was still in bed!). I wonder: is this a PayPal glitch/bug? Did someone with my former, old # somehow try to log into my account (or, even, just tried logging in, with the phone #, period)? Or, has my security been compromised? I did change my PayPal password, and (re)removed the ancient number. I did not see any pending or suspicious transactions. So, I wonder, what the heck happened!? HOW did this happen?
