I've logged into my paypal this morning to pay for an item I won on ebay late last night only to find this message:

We are currently performing regular maintenance of our security measures. Your account has been randomly selected for this maintenance, and you will now be taken through a series of identity verification pages.

It then asks me to confirm my full credit card details or full bank account and then change my password, create new security questions........basicaly everything!!
Is this a scam? Whats going on?

It's normal security. As long as you go directly to the site (don't follow any links) it should be fine . I've had to do this a couple of times over the years. Once confirmed its immediately accessible.'The More I know about people the Better I like my Dog'
