Dear missnexus@___.com Paypal User,

Due to recent account takeovers and unauthorized listings, PayPal is introducing a new account verification method. From time to time, randomly selected accounts are subjected to an advanced verification process based on our merchant accounts/bank relations and customers credit card. PayPal may also request in an email message scanned/faxed copies of one or more photo ID's. Your account confirmation may go wrong if your credit card/bank account is expired, or if you have changed your credit card number, billing address etc. without notifying us about the change. Subject of this verification process are also the accounts that have unpaid dues to PayPal. Your account is not suspended, but if in 48 hours after you receive this message your account is not confirmed we reserve the right to suspend your PayPal registration. If you received this notice and you are not the authorized account holder, please be aware that it is in violation of PayPal policy to represent oneself as another PayPal user. Such action may also be in violation of local, national, and/or international law. PayPal is committed to assist law enforcement with any inquires related to attempts to misappropriate personal information with the intent to commit fraud or theft. Information will be provided at the request of law enforcement agencies to ensure that perpetrators are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Note: If this is the second time you receive this notice, it might be because you have made a mistake when you entered your details or that the account was not updated at all. . We require you to complete an account verification procedure as part .
