In case Dan was trying to figure out how to confirm you're actually talking to Paypal:

Just use that number to call them.

Man, do people even read the posts in this thread? Here is what Dan told the OP:
It's a scam, for sure.
He then proceeds to tell him "DO NOT SEND THEM ANYTHING" despite the FACT that the OP indicated that the ID request came DURING a recent transaction attempt. This is the method that Paypal uses (if anyone checked the link I provided) to verify ID of dormant account users or accounts that are not alternately funded. Any quick Google search would have given the OP and/or Dan this information. So, I responded to Dan's MISINFORMED response with a very succinct reply.
I was not rude nor did I slam him. So please, ignore me if you wish but I really wish people would read the posts in a thread before ignorantly coming to the defense of a person who was just totally wrong.
Happy Holidays!

Despite Dan's stern, but misinformed warning, Paypal does sometimes ask for photo ID. Here's a nice thread over at the Paypal Community forum which has a few comments from a Paypal employee explaining why this is. You are not alone and this is most likely not a fraud, despite what Dan seems to think.
