Subject: paypal ordered to disclose information to the IRS

is this true? Article enclosed

Is this true or is it a hoax?

PayPal to begin giving the IRS PayPal users account information

Notice of IRS Summons

Dear *My Name*,

PayPal has received a summons from the United States Internal Revenue

Service requiring us to produce various account records, including data

related to your PayPal account. PayPal understands the summons relates to

the IRS' offshore compliance program in which the IRS has sought information

about offshore credit card accounts from a number of companies. Your privacy

is extremely important to PayPal. PayPal is obligated, however, to turn over

the requested data. PayPal has been ordered by the United States District

Court for the Northern District of California to provide the information to

the IRS, and PayPal expects to begin providing this information to the IRS

on January 10, 2008. The summons and court order both issue from the United

States District Court in an action entitled: In The Matters of the Tax

Liabilities of Does, Case No. CV-05-04176--JW.

If you have any concerns about the disclosure of this information, you

should consult with your tax or legal advisor. You may have rights in

connection with the summons, including the right to seek to prevent the IRS

from obtaining some or all of the information. The statute of limitations

that limits the time in which the IRS may assert tax liabilities against you

may be suspended beginning on the date which is six months after the IRS

served the summons upon PayPal and continuing until PayPal finally resolves

its response to the IRS. See 26 U.S.C. § 7609(e)(2). PayPal cannot provide

you with legal advice. If you have questions concerning the summons and

court order, we encourage you to contact the IRS, your tax advisor and/or

your attorney. If you wish to contact the Internal Revenue Service regarding

this matter, they can be reached at (215) 516-4777.

Thank You,

The PayPal Legal Team

Mrs. Rovenea A.

When you control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his

actions.

Hello all,

It is probably a hoak because I am also a good standing paypal

business member and havent received any such notice. Really the only

way to tell is to look at the original email address of the sender. Is

it from a real paypal address or just made to look like it is. Also

what I do, is if I am not sure just forward the original email to

spoof@...

if they send you an email thanking you for reporting the spoof then

it is a spoof. If you get a reply that tells you to do something then

it is not a spoof. Works everytime. Good luck folks, michael

Have a great day,

R. Lorenti Jr.

I don't know if this is a spoof but they have been

under pressure to disclose for some time now.

Currently they don't disclose anything under 6 grand.

I'd say go to the main paypal site and write them

directly or see if they have posted a notice there.
