Paypal have sent me a message

stating that I have changed my address.

The address change is my delivery address. It was addressed to me. I haven't changed my address.

I have forwarded to spoof for checking - has anyone else had this?
Fat and proud lol

    Go to the paypal site - type it into your browser and DO NOT use any links from the email. Check that everything seems to be OK with your account.

    I get one of these emails every other day - it's starting to bug me, but i just delete them. I know my address was added when i signed up 12 months ago, so it's got to be a scam.

    Loads of people got one of these t'other day, see here. forward it to spoof@paypal.com, and you will get a reply saying it wasn't sent by paypal and they are trying to sort it.

    I think its best if everyone who gets this does the same so paypal can see they have a serious problem!

    My address hasn't changed in 4 years - yet I was told it had been added as a "new address" last week. I assumed it was a Paypal system glitch and deleted it. DJTONYB - let us know what response you get from Paypal, please!

    Yes I had one as well, logged into Paypal, and all seemed well there. Must admit I deleted the email rather than forward it to spoof, as ka7e says, just assumed it was a glitch.

    Finally received a response from Paypal to say its is a spoof and not to click on any links and delete it.

    I got 2 of these emails last night after winning and paying for an auction.I think this is a paypal balls up as it lists your name and address in the email how would anyone else obtain these details and why recieve them straight after an auction.

    Exacxtly the same happened to me, I just ignored it. Paypal glitch, I think! I have always checked very regularly to see what I'm supposed to be selling ;) , in case my account has been hijacked. Although I never reply to e-mails that aren't addressed to me by name in the body of the message.
    I only exist in my own mind - if you can see, hear or read me, you are a product of my imagination.
