I checked my paypal account (but not through the link supplied in the email) and no new email address had been added. Its bogus.

Are you really sure it's bogus?

it is bogus,
I read about it on the PayPal Forum in the Community of Ebay.

I got that email also, with the same email address saying to have been added.

With mine, if you clicked the link, the real paypal site came up, but if you looked at your taskbar, you would see another servlet running ready to capture your info.

You've got to be careful these days, those "phishermen" are getting smarter.

Its bogus. I got the exact same notice with the exact same name. Don't click on the link
in the e-mail. Just delete it.
