So, I have an issue with getting spammed by paypal itself, and there is absolutely nothing that can be done about this.
To get off their mailing list requires a paypal account, which I cannot make because the email address is already associated with a paypal account.
I have no idea just how someone managed to hack their way into getting a paypal account with my email address, considering that in order to get the email address added to the account requires one to actually take action with the link provided in the email to verify it.
The email account has never been compromised or used by anyone else.
And at this point, the ONLY emails it gets is, (you guessed it), spam from paypal.
