Chris, it seems that a number of con artists are trying to use Paypal as a vehicle to gain personal information. I had a simular attempt made only last month....
The safest rule of thumb is , dont ever input personal info onto any account that asks you for it..... Genuine accounts that you deal with won't/shouldn't ever make that type of request :smt023
