Scammer I assume. Paypal has never made me verify my information. You can forward those emails you get (with full headers) to spoof@paypal.com

Thanks. Just did.
Who would enter in their debit card, pin code, mothers maiden name, SSN, paypal ID, paypal pw, and checking account info. I hope the scammers that do this stuff get shot. |

Completely Scam.
Easiest way to tell is that the IP is listed rather than www.paypal.com. The second easiest is that the security test is the same every time. The third is that paypal would never have you do this. |

If there was a problem with your ebay or paypal account they would just lock you out and wait for you to call. They would never send you an email.

Also if you look at the bottom of the page it says "An Ebay company". On the real paypal site that line is actually a link to Ebay. On this one it's just a gray font.
Also if you look on your browser address window, it doesn't take you to a secure site, ex. http vs. https. Sites I've gone to where I need to enter shipping and billing info has always taken me to a secure page to put my info on. |

Another tip off is the addrerss starts with "http" and not "https". The "s" at the end would mean that you were on a secure page.
