Has anyone received an email from ebay asking for verification of identity by asking a whole bunch of sensitive info (mother's maiden name, bank info, online bank info, and SIN #) they also asked for CC info but that i figured is needed but the others????

so i said f-it i aint given out my bank info and SIN!!!

just wondering if anyone else got this email

Good move, those are emails sent by people to gain access to your account. Next time forward it to spoof@ebay.com before deleting it. Ebay or PayPal will never ask for your password or other sensitive information in an email.
