is amusing.
How many times to I have to write that I have checked this out with Paypal on their Web site and by phone?
I agree it's questionable whether to give SS# to Paypal--the real one. But your claim that this is a spoof is just plain wrong. This is Paypal we're talking about, not some guy in Nigeria.

In your OP you stated, "Apart from the fact that this sounds like a scam, the document needs to be less than 6 months old (see attached screenshot)."
Now, I'm confused as to what you had hope to accomplish.
You're right--I was out of line. The reason is, I had already posted a followup with more information, and without really thinking about it I was assuming that people had seen that followup post, too.
The followup post makes it clear that this really is a Paypal thing and not some third-world scam. (Put another way, it might be a first-world scam, the kind respectable financial institutions inflict on their customers. But it's not someone pretending to be PayPal.
I will also repeat that according to Paypal, this is required by law. They wish they didn't have to do it. Believe it, or not, as you wish.
