The "You Added a New Email Address To Your PayPal" email below, which appears as if it came from PayPal, asking recipients to confirm their new email address, is a phishing e-mail scam. The fake e-mail message was not sent by Paypal (paypal.com) and the link in it does not go to Paypal's website at www.paypal.com. Instead, the link goes to a malicious website set up by cyber-criminals to steal their victims' Paypal usernames and passwords.
