I got an email from PayPal saying to "Square up with PayPal". Is it safe to install it on Facebook?

i would suggest keep paypal out of all information possible. Paypal is like a leech once they lach on they get all your info and who knows what they use it for... I would not trust anything to do with paypal. Dont bother. mike ! Source(s): paypalsucks.com

I'm actually not sure how secure this deal really is. I've found information on the deal from Facebook, but not on the Paypal site itself.

Second, I cannot find anything on PayPal's site about a Facebook Application. I would expect that they...

It depends on whether the email is really from paypal.com, which you can check by examining the email's header. If the "From:" field ends with "paypal.com", then yes it's an authentic email from paypal. If the email is not really from paypal.com, then it's not safe.
