The 24 x 7 free fraud protection that was announced via email I received today. Is it only for iPhone? Does it require installing/using the PayPal app on my cell phone or can I activate it from PayPal being used on my W10 desktop PC?

Hello @cwr64,
Thanks for stopping by the Community!
I understand you have some questions about an offer for fraud protection. I personally haven't found any updates regarding this feature. I recommend reviewing this Help Center article on how to determine if an email is from PayPal. Please do not download anything until you're able to confirm with 100% certainty that it is. If you'd like any assistance double-checking, feel free to take a screenshot of the email and reach out to our Customer Support on Social Media or Messaging through the website. They'd be able to look at it with you. You can review the different contact options for PayPal Customer Support here.
I hope this helps!
