I've seen this question asked in the archives but always with the wrong answer. Here it is again.
When I go to transfer money using friends and family a bunch of icons show up that were not there before for people that are not in my contacts and do not show up in my address book in Paypal. So the question is who are these people and how did they get there and how to get rid of them. The usual wrong answer I've seen is go to tools then settings/address book. The problem as stated above is these people do not show up in the address book so I can't delete them from there. So again, who are they? Are they just scammers who hope I'm going to make a mistake and send them money? More troubling is how did they get there. Has my Paypal account been compromised in some way? They only person I know in this list is the one with the palm trees and the same name as me. This is very disconcerting. Paypal doesn't seem to be aware of the problem or have a way to remove them.
Any suggestions?
