PayPal - Additional Information Required - Emails ...I HATE THEM!

[imjustme]

Every time I get one of these automated emails to keep your PayPal information current, my heart almost stops. Anyone else get this? They always make me think for a split second that my account has been limited:

Dear XXX XXXXXXX,

We are contacting you because your PayPal account has potentially invalid or outdated information. Please log in to your account at https://www.paypal.com/row and update the information indicated below. After logging in, click on the Profile tab to update your account.

PayPal periodically checks the validity of members' email addresses, phone numbers and mailing addresses to ensure security and prevent potential issues with inactive accounts.

If PayPal does not have current or accurate information on file for your account, we may be unable to confirm your identity. This may make it difficult for you to recover a forgotten password or to receive money sent to you via money request or mailed checks.

Please make the changes indicated above today, or simply choose to close this account and open a new one. You can even use the same email address to open a new account as long as that email address is valid.

If you wish not to receive email reminders in the future, please edit your settings in the Email Preferences in your Profile.

Sincerely,
PayPal

Haha, I know exactly how you feel Imjustme. I get that when I login to my eBay account and a promotional messages comes up, I always think it's a suspension notice or something.

I get them about once every 4-6 weeks on every account. Always around 1pm in the afternoon. Scary!

But the Bad emails from them usually concern some punk customer trying a chargeback. Hasn't happened much lately, but it does once in a rare while.
