I received the same notification. I have been using Paypal for years. My phone is currently shut off, because my phone company was denied payment by Paypal. I was not notified of any problem by Paypal or my phone carrier. Paypal finally sent me this notice a full day after I had lost phone service. The Verification is a higher step than they have ever asked for. I am not comfortable allowing them to have a copy of my social security card or other scanned document in their database. I don't want them to have it and I don't want it to be available for the snatching from hackers. I'm not comfortable providing it to them verbally, but I am more averse to them having it in two forms -- typed into their database, _and_ a pic of a legal document. This is how I make online purchases ... so that I can feel safe. If they will not do business with us without this information, I no longer feel safe. What do I do now?
