Got another e-mail about my PayPal account

I got another e-mail saying a phone number was added to my account. This time I checked my PayPal account. No new numbers were added. The e-mail is a scam.

you can send forward these emails to spoof@paypal.com . it helps them identify and verify. i have sent them before.
These *phishing* emails have been sent for quite some time. NEVER ever go to your account from a link provided by someone. You can also see in the "from" address of an email something like this; "123mretfdlkibnmretfo@tldpgoany.com." These are all tip-offs for potential scams.

@mav, Yep, that's about what the "from" addresses look like every time I get one of these!! I never, EVER even open them up!! Just send them to Spam, and sooner or later they all start going there!
Since I clicked on part of the first e-mail, I am now getting junk e-mails saying I can win $500 or you won a new drill. No changes in my PayPal account. Looks like they were just looking for valid e-mail addresses. I'm blocking the scam e-mails.

Forward all of those fake PayPal emails to spoofs@paypal.com. And Report each of them as Spam.
