rocknrobn26 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Got an email that said "Your account has been temporarily suspended, please fill out the attached form.". Form looked legit, started filling it out (I was busy w/ other chit and wanted to get it off my plate ) After I filled in my name an address it started asking for Mother's Maiden Name and CC info! That's where I stopped, called PP and they confirmed my acct. was fine, and they asked for a copy of the email sent to them. Whew...! Be aware!!!!
