Despite being the only person who's ever owned my email address, someone else somehow has it added to their PayPal account.

Last I checked, Google's survey app inexplicably pays out to PayPal even though they have Google Wallet, and doubly inexplicably will only pay to what it thinks your email address is with no option to change it. So… someone in Brazil has my survey payments.

Umm... just do a password reset on their PayPal account?
Sounds illegal?

As in, I thought about it and that's the reason I haven't done it.

It's tied to your identity. If they commit any fraud it may fall back on you.
Don't do any more surveys?
