SubscriberI got an email tonight from Paypal. I was about to hit the delete button as it looked like one of the usual scams.
This one however did not have a link to go to, suggesting it might be legit.
So I logged onto Paypal and sure enough it was legit.
I have been using Paypal for over ten years now and they are now asking me for information to confirm my ID.
They want me to send them a copy of my passport or drivers licence, a copy of a utility bill or government ID. and answer questions about politically exposed people. WTF.
They also state that the utility bill can't be an online one. All my utility bills come to me through email.
I currently don't have a scanner(broken) for my licence, so what is one to do.
Has anyone else had this request from Paypal?

I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

SubscriberAre you sure the email was from paypal?
100% sure?
I'm not going to call it a scam, but if it looks like a scam, smells like a scam, and tastes like a scam... it's probably a scam.

I had a similar request from an Aussie company selling Apple Mac memory. I told them I would not do it and would go elsewhere to buy the RAM I was after.
They didn't budge and I went elsewhere.

It sounds very questionable but they obviously do request these details at times:
A quick google turned up this:
Confirm Your Identity for a Safe & Secure Transaction - PayPal Singapore
Request for Photo ID and proof of address - PayPal Community
Personally I'd be very reluctant to provide them
I'd email phishing@paypal.com.au. to confirm whether it'a valid or not. Even if it is..I'd ponder whether i was willing to give them that info.
