Lyndal, it was weird because the minute I saw it I didnt click on the link but went to Paypal through my browser and logged in to my a/c and n record of payment. Decided it was weird so called Paypal and got recorded message saying system undergoing a problem and call back later. I went back to the email and thought Paypal system glitch had perhaps sent this by way of error. Thats when I clicked the transaction ID link and my email was compromised - I couldnt change my password or get back in - fixed now and heres hoping thats the end of it. Another lesson for me - never agian!!
