Dear valued
PayPal® member,
Due to recent fraudulent transactions, we have
issued the following security requirements.
It has come to our attion
that 98% of all fraudulent transactions are caused by members using stolen
credit cards to purchase or sell non existant items. Thus we require our
members to add a Debit/Check card to their billing records as part of our
continuing commitment to protect your account and to reduce the instance of
fraud on our website. Your Debit/Check card will only be used to identify you.
If you could please take 5-10 minutes out of your online experience and renew
your records you will not run into any future problems with the PayPal®
service. However, failure to confirm your records will result in your account
suspension.
We are requesting this information to verify and protect
your identity. Federal regulations require all financial institutions to
obtain, verify, and record identification from all persons opening new
accounts or obtaining ongoing payment services. This is in order to prevent
the use of the U.S. banking system in terrorist and other illegal activity.
For these reasons, PayPal® will utilize services provided by various
credit reporting agencies to verify the information you submit to us.
Once you have updated your account records your pending PayPal®
account transactions will not be interrupted and will continue as normal.
To update your billing records please login to your account by clicking here.
Thank you for your
time, PayPal® Billing Department.
