          They'll close you off if you don't apply.

              Sounds like maybe a scam. Best bet is to just call them directly. I wouldn't reply to an email like that.

                          What information are they asking for?

                          Are you certain the e-mail is actually from Paypal?

                              I would or else they might take it.That does seem like a large amount and looks like money laundering..Phone them or else risk losing it.

                                      Been thro it already, you need to supply the info they require, you might get another note from paypal after that is complete also to set up the direct debit with your bank.

                                                                                              i understand the ease of paypal and transfering monies, but they also charge you pretty good to do that.

                                                                                              id like to invite anyone who wants to make more money to check out Web Transaction Services if you are not already using us.

Pay pal is owned by eBay, and hey stopped processing adult transations 2 or 3 years ago. If they find that this transaction is linked to an adult transaction they will close your account and freeze your account.

                                                                                                      You will not be able to accept payments indefinatly and you wont get your balance for up to a year.

They don't want you to do it, they are going to levy fines and keep your money. Is it really worth the risk?

Paypal sends those types of notices out all the fucking time. Come on, that amount of money is pocket change, it has nothing to do with any concern of money laundering.

                                                                                                                                      Just fax in your identification and in a few days you will be in the clear. My accounts have been restricted several times. All you gotta do is comply with what they ask of you.

                                                                                                                                              It doesn't sound they want to know what the money was from or anything etc.

                                                                                                                                              As long as you take precautions to make sure it's paypal getting the info and not a scammer I don't see why it's such a problem to provide this info ?

                                                                                                                                                      Do you know who I am? Apparently you don't have any idea who you are fucking with. Give me my fucking money right now or I will kidnap your children while you are sleeping and start sending you body parts in the mail until I am paid in full. I know how to make bombs and I don't like you. Just be careful when you fucking leave the office today because no one treats me like this, you sorry mother fucker.

                                                                                                                                                      Thank you for your time and let me know if there are any questions.

                                                                                                                                                          They just want some identification to know who you are incase they come under investigation.

                                                                                                                                                          It doesn't sound they want to know what the money was from or anything etc.

                                                                                                                                                          As long as you take precautions to make sure it's paypal getting the info and not a scammer I don't see why it's such a problem to provide this info ?
