Security Measures






We are currently performing regular maintenance of our security measures. Your account has been randomly selected for this maintenance, and you will now be taken through a series of identity verification pages.

Protecting the security of your PayPal account is our primary concern, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.


This is the message I am getting when I log in. They are asking me to confirm my CC # and my bank account # is this a hack or is this true?

Thanks

    that sounds very fishy. I would double check by calling PP directly. Don't do anything until you do so.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Run virus and spyware scans now. I would call too.

    Immediately send them all your personal information, including SSN.

    Heres the email Paypal sent me regarding your payment...

    Dear Nikolas ****,

    A review of recent transactions indicates that you might have received a
    payment that the PayPal account holder did not authorize.

    To protect you from problematic transactions, we sometimes request
    additional information about PayPal payments.

    We need more information about this transaction. Please log in to your
    PayPal account, click the "Resolution Center"tab, and provide more
    information by 2/3/2009.

    We recommend that you not ship the item until our investigation is
    complete. If you've already shipped the item, please log in and let us know
    where you shipped it.

    We have placed a temporary hold on the funds until we complete our
    investigation.

    now that's ingenious. Mark needs to get a new identity, unless he really doesn't exist to begin with... :)

    glad to hear all is well.
