| This morning I just checked and got an email that after some google translating
said thankyou for confirming your identity or something even though I have
not done any identification things recently. (sorry it’s in French for some reason
my PayPal is like perm stuck in a French/English limbo no matter how many cookies
or cache I delete or how many settings I change sometimes French sometimes English).
I verified the email was genuine from paypal and that nothing changed in my account.
I guess my question is should I be worried or did other people also receive it.
(This is from my bricklink business PayPal)

Did you login to you PayPal account and it requested an SMS code?
While it requests it all times since a year or more ago, very few I get a similar
email.

| Not recently. But perhaps it’s an old one that got “stuck” in the database any
sent out with a system refresh (I don’t know if thats even possible)

It could be legit; especially if there's no link you've to click to.
If they require to do something, just open your account separately (no click)
and see if something is required there.
If not, send this e-mail to spoof@paypal.com - let them fix their own glitches

| Yeah, I do think it's legit. and there isn't anything in my account when
I open it. I double-checked the address letter for the letter and the address
that sent it and it's all good and there aren't any links. It just reminded
me of when I had first to verify my account a while ago and they said I had to
send in a certain document and every time I submitted it they denied it but then
after submitting it like 15-20 times (not even exaggerating much) they accepted
it so maybe they had a copy of that in their system and they accepted it a second-time
by mistake since so many copies were sent.

Yeah that also was correct in the email. I marked over my last name but it was
also correct.

| It kinda looks like the message I get when I use Paypal multiple times through
a browser. Initially, I would need to go through the "I am not a robot" click-thingy,
but after a few times a message comes up at login, saying something to the effect
that Paypal now trusts the device I am using, and the robot clicks are now no
longer needed (but obviously the password is still required).
It looks like you are using their app though - I don't have any experience
with that.
Niek.

|
| the email was worded more like I'm now verified to use Paypal as a seller
not as much verified on a device which I should have added previously I can see
how I caused some confusion

| | "random email from PayPal?"
In other words, you're asking if anyone has received emails (made, done,
happening, or chosen without method or conscious decision) from PayPal?
Do you honestly believe anything is "done without conscious decision" from any
entity such as PayPal?
The post is so ludicrous, I had trouble in formulating a rational reply. This
is the best I could do
|
Truth be told, in this day and age, the vast majority of emails are sent without
any conscious decision at all, by automated scripts and bots (unless, of course,
said email bots are conscious).
Of course, the person who wrote the script/bot was most likely conscious, but
even that cannot be taken for granted, for a significant amount of computer code
these days is written by… other code.

I doubt it and believe it's the former, human cancer.

Random does not necessarily mean without conscience choice. Random simply refers
to something that cannot be anticipated in advance. So, from Nubs_Select's
perspective, this email appears random. They cannot even predict if it will be
in English or in French!
