Did anyone else get this email from Paypal, Sorry couldnt' attach it,
But it basically says that the IRS, has instructed Paypal to turn over it's records effective January 10th,2008. I didnt' think this was some hoax, as it didn't have me click on a link or ask me to respond, just a note from Paypal?
Anyone else get this... I'm hoping it's a general notice and not just singling me out? Yikes!

I didn't get one and I use paypal a lot. When I was selling machines in Tennessee and in Florida I was worried about the same thing as I sold a lot of machines that year. If your not a business and it is just a hobby I can't imagine them getting fussy about it.

Before the IRS comes after us they better start at the beginning, all those
people who buy and sell old stamps or rare coins.

Yeah I agree... I am not too worried about it,,, as I have maybe $1000 a year on paypal, and it is just a hobby... just found it interesting and wondering if I was the only one singled out?

I, have never seen this E-mail either. I looked in my messages on my ebay and nothing there. They always say, if it's not in your my ebay messages, it didn't come from paypal or Ebay. Never answer or open anything in your mail, untill you check my messages first. There are so many people out there, trying to rip you off, you can't be too safe.

I have received nothing. To memorylane's point, it would come in your Ebay mail as well.

I just googled it and Snopes it, and neither came back with anything current. The IRS won a legal battle for people who were using PP to put money in foreign accounts, but that was back in 2006. Nothing newer than that came up. I would think if it were real, it would be in the news...

Paypal is owned by Ebay, but I've received messages from one and not the other, expecially since not ll payypal users have Ebay accounts, and vice versa.
Check the headers of the mail you received, it's a lot of gibberish, but you should bre able to tell if it actually came from Paypal. Addidionally, report it to Paypal as a possible spoof.
