I was doing some business through pay pal and they put a freeze on my account because of some "suspicious" activity (nothing wrong just pay pal being stupid). I have taken all the steps necessary to restore my account but when I try to enter my SSN it keeps telling me it's unable to verify the number I gave and that I should resubmit (its the correct number!). After calling in several times now they are saying I have to fax in a copy of my drives license and social security card. What's going on? Anyone else go through this? Is it really safe to fax them my social security card?
Haven't tried - but why do they still blocking your account? I think if you have clarified the problems to them clearly - there shouldn't be any problem.
Of course it's safe. Why wouldn't you???? If you want to get your account restored, you better make sure and comply with their requests...or you have no hope of getting it back. Many thousands of people have gone through the same problem...just follow directions and you should be fine. All they are trying to do is verify that you're a real person, and not a suspicious scammer type.
when you fax a doc then only the end user will recieve it... so its very safe... but not sure how safe the only fax is... like Faxzero.com that let you fax for free....
