Yes, I got it and reported it to Paypal. They asked for it to be forwarded to them at: accessviolation@paypal.com

It is a scam and do not give any information to those people who sent that email. Paypal said if you did provide information to let them know asap as well as your financial places.

All those types of emails are scams, I've been with paypal for a LONG time now, since right after they changed over from x.com, and they NEVER send emails asking for your acct info like that. They already have it.

I thought the same thing - that PayPal would never ask for your credit card information.

Yep, Paypal only asks you for the last 4 digit, not the full number on your cc.
