Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Having been the victim of an identity theft, I can assure you that repairing identity damage is a horrible but necessary hassle, and if it has occurred, the sooner the repair is done, the less damage one suffers.

I agree, but nothing is at risk. I have nothing connected to my SS. They would be getting a pointless number, nothing else. All evidence points to Paypal's mistake as nothing else points to fraud.

What I meant is there is no money or anything they could get ahold of through it. Of course it isn't pointless but I don't have anything physical to lose from it. Guess I should have been more clear. I will be checking it out but all signs point to Paypal's failure, not fraud. If someone has tampered with my SS# they are doing a piss-poor job of screwing my life up.

Yea, but what's the chance of that? Considering there are 0 signs of that. I guess I'm just not paranoid about something with a very, very small chance of happening. I don't have a credit score as I buy everything with cash, lol. So unless someone's made up a completely new me (which there is 0 evidence of) there is no risk.

Have you pulled your credit report to find out? Having no credit is better than having bad credit. You might not know what's going on if things are being sent to a different address. Since you can get one credit report a year free, it might not be a bad idea to check now, so you can limit damage. In addition, you can only go back sixty days or so if something does happen.

Yea, I don't really need to worry about it though.
Thanks for the advice & concern guys, but my point is there is no evidence of fraud. 100% evidence of Paypal being at fault. Just Google Paypal problems and you'll see the mountain in a second (and yes, even the very problem they caused me). It really doesn't matter though. The purpose of this thread was to warn people that it can happen to them. There are cases of 10 year customers of Paypal having this happen to them for no reason. Just sayin'
