I don't see any reason to be an a**hole, lotherius. I was sharper than I should have been above, myself. The Denied Persons list is a fact, both in the US, Canada, the EU, and elsewhere. Paypal does indeed have to hold to it, and they have to freeze accounts if you find yourself on it.
Another example. Someone above said that PayPal is in California, but they neglected to find out that the operating center is still in Omaha. The corp headquarters is in California. The phone number traces to Global Crossing, a corporate communications and network company, which would make sense for a fax number, I guess. The P.O. Box is the one on other paypal stuff I find around the Internet.
So, while as I say above this could be a political thing to annoy people, or a scam, there's no reason to be sh**ty to the poster. No one is asking to mail money to Nigeria, and the letter isn't asking for information to be emailed anywhere, nor is it asking for a password, etc., etc.
This has become a feeding frenzy for people to make themselves feel smart, I think. On second thought, don't shut the hell up, and I was wrong to tell you to. Just make sure you get mad at the right people, if there is really anything to be mad about at all.
