I got this email in my box. I didn't click on the link but opened another browser, went to Paypal, signed in and checked and there isn't another address listed. Is this one of those scams where if you click on the link in the email, they are somehow able to get your Paypal password? My sister made that mistake with a bogus Ebay email and Ebay cancelled her account! She was never able to sign up using her name and her acquired feedback.
In any event, here is the email I received:
From: "PayPal" <[email protected]> Subject: Important information about your PayPal account

Yes..BOGUS!! That one has been around awhile you did the right thing by logging into your Paypal account to check on your account. Remember, PayPal will address correspondence with your full name and not "valued member" or your email address.
