| I need your input... I just received an email from paypal asking to verify my information because they think a third party may have my information. Is this a scam or for real?

| I heard this was a scam. Paypal doesn't ask you to verify info. I would report it to paypal.

| I just emailed paypal the entire thing and asked them to let me know if it's from them. But I checked my recent activity and there's nothing that a third party has charged. I will post the email in the next post.
