Paypal question-pin number

In the past couple of weeks I’ve received two requests that looked official, Ebay logos and all asking that I update my account info or it would be suspended. They had me fooled rite up to where the form asked for my pin number. I deleted the form and reported it to EBay. NEVER give out your pin number.

According to PayPal (and eBay for that matter), there is an easy way for you to initially establish the potential legitimacy of such correspondence. If the e-mail is addressed to you personally (i.e. Dear John Smith or Dear David Jones), it probably emanated from PayPal or eBay. If, however, you are addressed by such vague or universal terms as "Dear Valued Member" or "Dear PayPal Member" etc., then it is definitely not legitimate. The advice to send the questionable correspondence to spoof@Paypal.com or spoof@eBay.com is absolutely correct. You will receive an answer in a very short period of time.

When my credit card on file with PayPal was expiring, they did send me an email about it.
Being wise I did not use any "link" in the message, but logged into my PayPal account directly and indeed the credit card was out of date.
Any email correspondence is SAFE to believe IF you NEVER connect via the provided link... Rather go the your usual log in via the original web address, and see if the request is in your account info.
Is, it's valid, if not, report the fraudulent email.
