Surely SPAM, no way I'd give paypal my SS number.

Not spam, but I didn't think SSN was one of the things they requested.

Go to the paypal site not using the link. Same info is asked there. And as Irv has said, its being talked about on the Paypal forum.
Point is, buying and selling on places like Net54, it's nice to keep a balance. |

Don't ever respond to emails like that whether from Paypal or your bank...
Go to their websites yourself log in and if they need info there will be a message for you...

I get a 1099 from them every year, so I assume they already have my SS#.

I got the e-mail, which I ignored and then get an alert every time I log into Paypal. I have not updated anything as of yet. I'm not sure why it matters after all these years.

My recent experience (a couple months ago I think) was they suddenly wouldn't let me use my balance to purchase something on eBay. I called and the first person said "the transaction was flagged" which didn't make sense, but the second person said it was a new policy that required me to link a checking account, which I refused to do (Checking accounts don't have the same protections that CCs do if someone withdraws your money). The 3rd person I spoke to was very nice and helped me request a check to get my money out. Inconvenient and there was a charge of a few dollars, but at least I got my money.

I got the same email/message and it doesn't appear to be spam....I am like Leon...tried to update it and they wouldn't let me so the heck with them...looks like most people are taking credit cards on ebay now so I will go that route...don't understand the need for a balance when I have credit card on file...Jerry

I keep very little $ in PayPal and very little $ in the account linked to it. I have had my PayPal and the account hooked to it hacked before and they took around $3000. I was lucky and got the $ back.
![]() Now on the rare times I use PayPal I transfer the $ I need into the account right before I send it. |
