    As has already been said, these emails are nothing to do with Paypal, so there's no point in contacting them. Mark them as spam, delete them, and consider a new email address if your email account doesn't learn to treat them as spam and delete them for you.

    What the others have said.

    I will add this.

    I don't see any of these sorts of email, I don't even think about them any more and I think the reason is that my email provider, Gmail, is picking them up as spam before I get to see them. I haven't had to mark something as spam for a while. Every so often I check the gmail spam folder to see if they've blocked anything they shouldn't have but they haven't done that for over a year. I then just block delete all the rubbish in there.

    I have two friends who are constantly moaning about the amount of rubbish and spam that ends up in their inbox and, despite them constantly marking them as spam, they continue to get past the filters in one form or another.

    Both of these people use hotmail.

    My advice would be to dump your hotmail account asap and get a decent provider.

    I go further, I have the following filter

    Matches: is:spam
    Do this: Delete it

    I trust Gmail's spam filters


    Not really that bothered if something - once in a blue moon - gets deleted that shouldn't have
    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
