Hi All It appears that someone has set up a PayPal Australia account using my email address. I suspect it's a mistake as the email address is mine, but without the "." between the first and last name. I've just tried adding the email address to my own account, but I'm not allowed to (because, clearly, it's being used on the Australian account). Two things. 1. Why doesn't PayPal ignore "." in Gmail addresses? The address "first.second@g mail.com" is the same as "firstsecond@g mail.com". This would stop this happening. 2. What do I do about this? Clearly this other person can't access my account because they don't have access to my email (or my phone, which receives codes when I try and sign in now). Is my best bet to talk to support? I'm nervous that I'll lose access to my UK PayPal account. Any advice greatly received!! 🙂
