A Rocklea man has discovered the perils of sharing a name with a controversial politician.

Scott Driscoll has had his PayPal account limited until he answers questions about his political connections.

The 41-year-old public servant – who is not 38-year-old Redcliffe MP Scott Driscoll – received the notification from PayPal on Thursday morning.

It reads: “Under Australian Anti-Money Laundering legislation we need to know if you hold or have ever held a position of political office, or associated with someone who does or did.”
