I have opposite problem. I am trying to deactivate paypal account or get banned. They keep sending me spam.

I stopped using paypal long time ago. Phone number I used expired when I moved countries. Paypal somehow activated 2FA authentication and I can not login.

Perhaps I will try this

Don't worry, as someone pointed out in another thread they're not going to stop sending you spam just because they've banned you.

Just send $1 to anyone with the message "bomb terror weed crack isis"

Set up an email rule to redirect the spam to their legal department or some other inbox monitored by highly-paid people.

GDPR to the rescue, send a delete request.
