Since Christmas, I have received 3 messages from Paypal relating to purchases made. then follow up emails informing me that there has been a problem with my acct and payment.
I have been ignoring them

I can tell from digging deeper that the sender email address is NOT paypal.
I have never had an acct with paypal.
After the 3rd follow up message,I decided to test it

I tried to logon to the paypal site stating that I cannot remember my password.
Paypal site confirms that no acct exists for my email address.

I got one from CIBC last week telling me that they had frozen my account, I wouldn't be able to access it until I gave them certain information. It scared me but just for a minute when I realized that I didn't have an account at CBIC, never did have.

Phew!
