Is it safe to give PayPal my passport?
My PayPal account has been limited for a couple weeks because they do not have enough information on me. They said they need an ID, divers license, or a passport picture. They want me to fax it to them. Is it safe to take a picture of my passport and fax it to PayPal? Can they track me down with some information that's on my passport? I am not taking a picture of the entire passport either

is this based on an e-mail you received telling you your PayPal account was "limited"?
If so you've been scammed.

NEVER trust an e-mail saying click a link, (or send mail/fax like you have there) to 'resolve' some account trouble.
It's almost certainly a phishing scam.
Ignore that entire thing & report it so.
When you do get something of this kind use your normal methods to the official service being mentioned.
Links, phone numbers, fax #'s, etc. are often in control of those seeking to get information about you for evil deeds.
