If I was running a scam, that would be a great way for me to get money from Pay Pal and give you the tax burden. The last I heard was some Dems were pushing the $600 back to anything over $10,000 a year.

Either way, I sure wouldn't respond with my tax ID to any email address someone sent me, I'd be contacting Pay Pal at their listed numbers. Just another reason to not do Pay Pal. Gene
