I didn't take time to read all the answers, but it could very well be a scam. Don't EVER send anyone online your SS#!

ive had my paypal account for over 10 years- they have never requested anything like that from me- i would be doing some serious research- i really do not think they can ask for it- it sounds like scammers trying to get important information from you....contact customer service directly- you call them-do not give out information to someone who calls you and says that's where they are from- when you call them you know you are talking to them-

This is a fairly new ruling...
I haven't heard anything from them yet....I wonder if it is 200 in 1 year or over the lenght of the account...

Never give your SS number to sites like this.

That is weird, let us know what happens.

Pay Pal has all the info needed to get in touch with you privately.

Just another way for the government to get more money from us working folks. Screw them!
