I have received a E-mail from PayPal asking to verify my account, because someone is trying to access it by giving my password and banking info. Is this a common procedure with PayPal? I am very leary of giving this info.

I thank you as well. I just got this email too and was worried about it since it has the same email as the ones I get from PayPal when I buy things.

Thats why I was looking here to see if anyone else had encountered this.
