When i try to log in keeps asking for details such as social security number,and my card details plus ATM pin number!!! Its on https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr so its the right paypal site, but why is it asking for my Atm pin?

    The real paypal site shouldn't want an ATM pin. Clear your cookies and history and log back in via https://www.paypal.co.uk . (don't use my link though...type it out yourself, you can never be too careful)
