<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 65744, member: 1674&quot;]your paypal id # isn&#039;t really a number at all, but it is your email address.&nbsp; Additionally you have a password on your account as well, so someone would have to have both of those pieces of information to &quot;hack&quot; your account.&nbsp; This is part of why I don&#039;t keep money in the bank account that is attached to my paypal account (just in case).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One thing that you do need to be cautious of is that you will likely begin to receive &quot;phishing/spoof&quot; e-mails from hackers once you sign up.&nbsp; These emails will use the paypal logo and will say things like &quot;your account has been compromised and has been restricted. . .please click the link below to reactivate your account.&quot;&nbsp; Or something like that.&nbsp; Basically it is an attempt to get you to click on the link provided in the email and then when you enter your info on their website they will be able to steal from you.&nbsp; The key is that Paypal (and eBay for that matter) will never email you and ask you to follow a link in an email to do ANYthing.&nbsp; If there is ever anything actually wrong with your Paypal account you can always go to <a href="http://www.paypal.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.paypal.com" rel="nofollow">www.paypal.com</a> and then log into your account and it will tell you exactly what the problem is.</p><p><br /></p><p>If your father is concerned about security, just have him look around paypal&#039;s site before you sign up, they do a good job of outlining their security measures and he can find answers to most of his questions there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
