Yesterday morning I received an email from paypal confirming I had added a new address to my account. As the address being quoted was mind anyway, I did not think much of it.

So far this morning, in the space of 20 minutes, I have received 5 emails from paypal, all saying the same thing.

I am going to try emailing them and find out what is going on.

I have, just to be on the safe side, also changed my paypal and ebay paswords.

Any ideas?

i have had this 3 times today.

Same thing just happened to me too, very weird I must say.

Another thing, a few times over the last week I have tried to pay for small value items - no more than £2 - using my debit card which is on file with Paypal but it has come up saying no card on file please add details. I have then logged into Paypal & the payments HAVE gone out! It's happened 3 or 4 times this week, any ideas what to suggest?

i get loads of strange emails from paypal. any that i'm unsure of before i do anything i forward it to spoof@paypal.com and then wait for a reply to know if it came from them of not

like with ebay get loads of strange ones. so again i forward it to spoof@ebay.co.uk just to make sure.


i have learnt u can never be too careful when it comes to sensitive information on such websites.

I had the exact same email from them, they addressed my name etc and said I had added a new address. I clicked off my email and got a new browser window into paypal and checked address and it was the same as before I got a bit worried!.

ps this is what it said my address was (same as normal except)
xxx xxxxxxxxx drive
xxxxxxxx
town, town
xxxxxx
town,
town
seemed strange as it had my town in about 4 times.

I got the same after paying for an item.
Then I reported it to PayPal and just got this reply.

I have paid for something this morning and have just got one of the e-mails telling me that I have added my own address.It must be a problem at their end.
