SS# to Paypal?

[BGSRCGUY]

Why does Paypal ask you for your SS# before you've crossed the threshold?

I'd assume so that when you hit the level you don't simply ignore their requests so they can report. But that's just an assumption.

I know I have surpassed both thresholds but I have yet to be asked for my SS#. I wonder what happens if I just ignore the request?

I would imagine you'd be reported one way or the other.

That's probably it. I ignored the first message last week so they sent another one today. It guess it's easier to "get" the # BEFORE one crosses the threshold than after.

Personally if it was me regardless of what the actual rules might be..I would never follow a link sent to me that way from Paypal, way too many scams/fraudulent ones..I would of course log into my account and go that way, again the only way i would ever give out my SS#, period!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
