Has anybody else received an email from PayPal requesting name, address, ss#, cc# and mother's maiden name. This is all info I previously provided, seemed strange.

Emails can be spoofed. Forward it to spoof@paypal.com

 

PayPal would never ask for such info via email. If there is a problem, they'll tell you to check your account.

 

Log in to your account with a different device you own from where you read the email to check if there is any alerts or notifications in your PayPal account.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
