This is a common scam. Just delete them. PayPal will never ask for your ID online.

All customer e-mails from IHUB database were stolen about four months ago. Those were the e-mails that people used during registration. Since then I started receiving those bogus e-mails from Paypal. I knew that was at IHUB because I use different e-mails every time I give my e-mail to a computer and bogus e-mails were sent to this unique e-mail address. I alerted Bob and Matt at that time. investorshub.com EDIT: there is a threat that when you click on a link on those e-mails it may direct you to the site that would try to infect your computer with some spyware.

That was your first phishing e-mail? I've received about 500 in the past year, perhaps 100 exclaiming my PayPal account was about to die, 50 for my nonexistent WaMu account, a bunch for my nonexistent Wells Fargo account. Apparently there are even some for my lowly credit union, but I haven't had the privilege of receiving one yet. I just hope when I'm an old geezer I don't start clicking on that crap.
