Default Paypal Question/Problem URGENT PLEASE HELP ASAP

Just received this e-mail from Paypal:

You have added carseller@yahoo.com as a new email address for your
PayPal account.

If you did not authorize this change or if you need assistance with
your account, please contact PayPal customer service at:


Thank you for using PayPal!
The PayPal Team

I don't recall adding that address to my account, does anyone recognise it?

Log into your Paypal account and see if that name has been added to your names/address's! If it has contact Paypal and tell them you did not authorise it and change your password!!

I think someone's trying to rip me off, clone my card or whatever!

Do you think I should put a stop on the card?

Shit I'm nervous!

Log into your Paypal account
click on 'profile' top right
then under ' account information' click on 'Email'
This will tell you if any other address's have been added!
If not like i said change your password and notify Paypal about this!

I notified PayPal they told me it was a fake, but they've got my credit card details, so I have had to cancel my credit card, the day before I go away to Paris!

I've changed my password now too, no transactions have taken place but I do wonder what they are going to try and do with my details.

Thanks for your help Spadge, I appreciate it!

I feel a bit stupid, but fucking angry right now!
