PayPal User Database Requirements

Notice Date: September, 2004

Due to special provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act, PayPal is required to keep it's user information database up to date. Our records indicate that your information may be incorrect or out of date Please take 5 to 10 minutes right now and update your records. If you fail to update your user information within 24 hours, we are required by law to suspend access to your account until we are able to verify your information.

Please login to your paypal account using the link below to verify your records.

and there is a link below.

No. Paypal says that all emails sent to you will be addressed to you by name...not "Dear Member" or something like that.

Also, they recommend when you get emails like that, you go directly to the Paypal site without clicking on a link. That way you KNOW you are signed into the real paypal.

I am a member of paypal and I didn't get that email so I assume it is just another Paypal scammer

come on - of course it's not legitimate

I ignore all paypal emails, you should too :p

yeah i did that and cant find the link to verify my paypal info? So its most likely a scam? giving only 24hours to verify?

yeah thats what i though. Alrights thanks for the info guys

Exactly. Paypal says if they need anything, it will prompt you for the information when you log into your account. If there is no prompt, then don't worry about it.
Paypal does not need to verify crap. I have used them for years and the most they have done is occasionally when I log in it will ask me to verify information. The information is already there...it doesn't ask me to input.
I get at least 20 Paypal scam emails a week

Any paypal e-mail asks you to login to your account, they do not provide a link for it. That is proof enough that it's a scam e-mail.

Yes its fine. Its definatly them. After you eneter all your details, could you please email them to me too, as thats part of the process, plus any credit card details you have to would be great :thumbsup

First time you got this? I got my first one like 3 years ago.

I don't see any problem with it

If paypal needs anything from you it will say so when you log in to your account. Never click any links you get in an email that looks like it's from paypal.
