anybody been asked to give Paypal more info than normal?

It's legit guys, and is another breach of our privacy/security as allowed by the passing of the "Patriot Act"

You do still have to verify these emails are actually from who they say they are.

The Patriot Act allows them to make and enforce laws that would not normally be acceptable, and labeling a person or group of persons "terrorist" allows them to completely strip away any and all consitutional or human rights without any legal reason or explanation.
ALL because of the passing of the "Patriot Act"

So far they have;
New ways to watch you. (that you can't avoid)
New ways to accuse you. (that you can't fight)
New ways to find you. (all this new information, phones with GPS and other tech)
And new ways to carry out any sentence they wish, without any legal recourse.

Right now they are working on getting away from us reporting income to the IRS, and moving to them watching it for you.
This is what part of the Paypal SSN number thing is all about.

ALL because of the passing of the "Patriot Act" allows them to to pretty much do whatever they want.
It also gives them the legal right to change the rules and laws to accomodate anything else they want to include.

Are we having fun yet?

We have already seen multiple cases in how our Gov is able to protect out information and data, right?

But yet people that see it and tell others about what's really going on are called "Conspiracy Theorist" but it's not just a theory.
