    I have changed my password to a very complex one.

    I will be calling them when their offices open tomorrow. Really perplexed by this...

    If you're that concerned, they seem to have a live chat section in their 'Contact Us' section. Maybe give it t try.

    Paypal once sent me a $10.00 voucher - the ones where you put the code in at the ebay transaction. Thats it Will be interesting to see what they say.

    I have heard of them sending out vouchers like Skull cruncher mentioned, I think it is definitely worth contacting them, and good plan changeing your password, like mentioned above, I'd also change your related email password as well.

    hope it's nothing

    It's cause you're such a high roller HD

    There is no substitute for strong passwords that you change regularly, and a call to Paypal should clear up any related confusion.

    My scam meter would be running very high with that email
    Did you accept/reject after logging into your Paypal account or via the email?
