Can someone advise me on this? I got a notice from Paypal that there's a problem with my account--I know, it sounds like a scam, but this appears to be real. The problem, apparently, is that they need to verify my identity (according to a new law, as of April 2012), and to do this they need me to upload proof of my social security number.
Here's the weirdest part: Apart from the fact that this sounds like a scam, the document needs to be less than 6 months old (see attached screenshot).
Can anyone tell me how to prove my social security number with documents that are less than 6 months old?
Finally, the vague "we will handle this information in accordance with our privacy policies" is a bit ominous.
Jim
