I opened my work email account this morning (NOT paypal related) and had an email with my name in it that said PayPal had changed my password for me. It gave some reasons about how names and passwords had been found online and even though my account didn't appear to have a problem they changed the password anyway. It told me to attempt to login and then select trouble logging in and follow the steps to reset password.
I did NOT click on the link, I went on paypal from my phone app, from the web browser on my phone, and then from my computer at work- NONE of these places had any issues signing in with the normal password I was using. And to add more to the craziness, the work email that I got the email at, it is not linked to my PayPal!
Has anyone else gotten these strange emails? I'm assuming I did the right thing thinking it was a scam. I wanted to report it to PayPal, but I couldn't figure out how.
