Oh no, it was indeed Neteller. The same scam was tried by Netteller later the
same day. A friend of mine also tried to sign up for their service online. He
got a similar message when trying to sign up and when he called them he was
given the same line of crap that I was and was told how this was "very unusual"
for them to have to do.

I think this was a scam. Netteller does not
request SSN info. Many of these emails are disguised
to LOOK AS IF they were sent by a financial
institution one does business with.
