It is most likely a scam. In your instance, if you were going to log onto PayPal, just do so and ignore what the alleged PayPal site wants from you
When in doubt, don't give information to anyone who asks you unless you know them. Mel PS: I gave up on PayPal over five years ago for similar reasons that have displeased you. --- On Fri, 9/12/08, Carl Nygren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Carl Nygren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: PayPal Fraud...? To: "G3-5 List" <g3-5-list@googlegroups.com> Date: Friday, September 12, 2008, 10:31 PM Hello all, I was going to log on to PayPal now, but a site popped up asking for name, address, credit card number, CVV2, date of credit card expiry, bank account info, and Social Security Number. What bothers me is a) Why would PayPal ask for this, and b) I live in Sweden and I am a Swedish citizen. :) I do not have a Social Security Number - since I do not live in the US. I did not submit any info at all. I did however send an email to PayPal asking how exactly they are expecting me to fill out this form. I've had to deal with their stupid tech support earlier and made it very clear that I am not a citizen or resident of the United States, that I have no such thing as a SSN, and that I am concerned about this. What if it is a scam? I submitted the email under the category "Password Problem" which was the most related category I could find. So what I'm trying to ask here is: has anyone else outside the States run into this? Is it a scam or is PayPal going nuts? I know this is not related to Macs, but I figured I'd ask the smartest list first :) So Listers - what do you think of this?
