    Hello,
    I've got email from PayPal like:

    What does this mean? Where (and why) they are reporting my (and which) informations?
    They need ID only and address proof.

    Anybody knows a bit more about this relugation, please?

    Thanks

    I think they will only ask your ID and address proof, you can scan them and mail them or you can fax them otherwise they will block your payment and will not let you withdraw that.

    Yes, they want that stuff, which is no problem, but I'm wondering about especially with words "Anti-Money Laundering regulations" and "to collect information from customers". Does they report to any tax institutes?

    ITS A SCAM - once you click the links from your email you do not go to paypal website. They scam you into entering your account information.

    then your screwed.

    if there is no information about the email you received when your log in to you account by directly entering paypal.com in your browser, then it is not legit.

    you can also forward it to . they will usually reply back with a status with in 24 hours.

    I don't think it's a scam. When you view your account limits, that is the exact number that is listed. To lift the limit I believe you'd have to prove that you're running a legal business that is registered in Europe.

    Oh sorry, this is what you need to send them
    Fax proof of ID and location. Fax documents to confirm your ID and address. This final step is required to remove your receiving limit.
