Paypal question-pin number


Please tell me if the recent request for a debit card including the pin number is legitimate?
Thanks, Ed

Ed is correct. Forward the e-mail to spoof@paypal.com which is Paypal's security e-mail address. They will authenticate the e-mail or tell you it is fraudulent. I'll bet it is the latter.

BTW, I got a timely "fishing" e-mail last week that looked very authentic. I got it the same day I closed an auction on eBay and it looked like an authentic Paypal notification of payment due. I forwarded it to spoof@paypal.com and they immediately recognized it as a "fishing fraud".
