Over the last week or so I'm receiving mails from Paypal, notifying me that e-mail addresses have been added to my account. I don't even have a paypal account! In the mails there also are links that I'm suppose to click to prevent the mailaddresses being added to my name. When I click those in the first mail, I discover what I already know: that I'm not a member of Paypal! In the second mail the link leads to a site that has nothing to do with Paypal!
I'm afraid of phishing! What should I do? The mails come from a no-reply mail address and I'm in Europe!

Do not open those emails claiming to be from paypal. They are a scam. I am including a link to a website that lists it as a phishing scam. I have also heard about it on the news here in the US.

As you already seem to have realized, these are phishing schemes. Avoid them
Good luck
