Re: New account opened with my email?

Hi @dbsand,    Thank you for posting in the PayPal Community!    I appreciate this must be a concerning situation, I am sorry to hear this is happening.    You may be receiving emails from us because a PayPal account has been registered with your email. Someone may have mistakenly added it to their account when they signed up, either mistyping it or intentionally entering an email that wasn’t theirs. Or it was recycled by a domain provider like Gmail, Hotmail, etc. If you have an email account and stop using it for a while, the domain provider can reissue the email address to the public and allow it to be used again by someone else. If you want to stop receiving those emails, send us a message at unsolicitedemail@paypal.com.    Tips: Email us using the email address that you’re receiving PayPal emails Include a statement acknowledging you don’t have a PayPal account and would like your email removed from the PayPal system If you’re not sure the email you received is from PayPal, check our tips to learn more about email phishing and how to spot a fake email.   I hope this helps. Have a lovely day.  Rebecca.  ... View more

This is exactly what happened to me. And so far, PayPal has done nothing to assist me. I know I will have to accept a loss here, but PayPal will have a loss as well - Me as a customer for approx 20 years. I won’t be the only loser. ... View more
