Paypal asking me my credit caard No... WTF... am i being scamed?

    Today i went to login into my paypal acount and i found this:

    followd by a dropdown list with one option with the last two numbers of a credit card i used yesterday. And text box for me to enter that's credit card number.

    My bank has a service that generates temporary credit cards numbers so i can do one time payments on the internet. Yesterday i generated a card so my girlfriend could make a payment online. I suspect her windows box is like in a botnet, or has a keylogger or something as the payment was made in her computer. Eventually the credit card number could have trigger a keybind and now i would be victim of a man-in-the-middle attack.

    don't know... the url does not look suspicious at all:

    https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-submit&dispatch=
    Code (markup):
    The url is the one above followed by a token of 64 hexadecimal chars.


    This is fucked up as i cant access my paypal account at all.

    What do you guys think?

    Sorry, didn't understand the last part of your sentence... did you miss a period?
    Should i email them? to which address?

    What if i don't have that credit card anymore?
    To be honest I don't think i have it at all.

    Thank you everybody.

    It was legit. I totally forgot i add a temporary credit car two month ago in order to keep my account active. It happen to have the same last two digits of this one i generated yesterday.

    You just have to enter the details of the VCC again. Don´t you find this # in your real account statement (I don´t know anything about Netsafe accs besides they can generate VCCs)

    After you entered everything will be fine again

    If he has to enter the whole cardnumber which he added to the account then of course he can´t say he doesn´t have a CC.
