Is anyone from paypal monitoring this forum? Could someone get in touch with me, please? Last night I started to receive emails saying that someone was creating an account in my name. But, while I have an old PayPal account that I have not used for years (more than 10 years), the email address was different to the one I used for my old paypal account. Tried to get in touch with paypal UK. I phoned them last night when I started getting the emails from paypal but that was pointless. And when I received an email at 01.00 saying that the account was set up, they were closed. I called them again this morning and I have just spent 20 mins waiting in a queue for a paypal advisor with no success. I don't want to use phone the number on one of the emails I received relating to this new (fradulent?) account, in case it is also fake. Sent a copy of the first email to 'spoof' 15 hrs ago - no reply from a human yet! Please can someone from PayPal take a bit of responsibility and advise. Thanks.
