Easy peasy! Here is what they sent me: To send your payment, get Verified or link a card Hello Johnny Dos, All PayPal accounts have initial limits to increase security and help prevent fraud.

Is it genuine Johnny, not a scam is it, "please provide information to help us get to know you" that don't sound right to me, surely they know enough about you anyway if you use them regularly?, i have funds in my paypal account because of stuff i sold on E-Bay and just left them there for the moment but not got any messages like that. They must already have some credit/debit card information for you already if you use them all the time?

You must not have used paypal very much. But after a certain amount of use they bump you up to a different type account and want more info.

Contact Paypal directly yourself if something isn't right. Rule #1, never click on a link in an email especially when asking for that kind of information.

This is a legit email. for one. Paypal will list your name in the header to prove to show it is them, Scams usually say valued customer or something along those lines. What it is saying by validating is that is it is wanting to validate your home location. You are verifying where you live. I do a lot of ebay shopping and other places and it just show the person you are sending money to for whatever reason that you are real and not trying to scam for your info. if you go to paypal and follow the instructions. You can do this with without adding another card. Just follow the get verified. It is just a security thing pp does. JohnnyDos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
