Legit site ask your pay pal ID to sent payment to you. Like in my lot ,yes it is required to do that because they will sent the payment there.. But if there is thing that make you wonder,example someone ask your email add or account info why they need it and what purpose...? Always be careful every thing you do online..never give your info to any one but only you..

Yeah, never share your private information to strangers. Be really careful in online world. By knowing your Paypal ID, they might try to steal your password by various ways. And also, better don't share your email to total strangers without any good reasons. They might doing email farming and may flood your inbox with spams..

Yes you need to be careful with the information you give away. Only put your information on sites you trust or are trust worth. But paypal is essential for your payments, so you can't go another way haha

Well first off, don't just give any information specifically your pay pal to anybody.. I only give my pay pal account in mylot.. if there is really now purpose for asking then don't give it to them.. That's true, let's all be responsible with our actions..:)

Yes agree with you that if any one ask of it well why, and i do experience this before but they ask what my email address. And is not their business to know mine!

befrindwithme Paypal is legit and has to ask your id so they can handle your earnings for you and put them where you ask., but nobody else has any right to ask your paypal id outside of Mylot of course. it pays to always be diligent in these matters be safe and not sorry.

I only give someone my e-mail to my closest friends. I don´t think that in all these years online I hve given it to more than 5 people. I knew they would not make a bad use of it.

dont just give out paypal account to anyone unless its legit site like mylot and if ever then just make sure theres proof of payment showing on that site nor only add your paypal if ever your about to withdrawn money from that site to paypal. they might can use paypal account to purchase online.
