Does sound childish to me.  Sounds like good advice.  (Coming from the last guy to sign up for E-file!)

Then we can have all our clients opt out of efile

Seems like when I studied up on the E-file rules, we ARE NOT allowed to voice that opinion to clients.

But I do appreciate that they let me spend 2,500 dollars before announcing this info!

Well, they're trying to make it harder for those fraudsters to log into your account. 

But are we solving a problem that doesn't exist?  Have fraudsters been logging into PTIN accounts?  Especially to renew them and pay the fee?

We can think about it; that's 90% of the joy and  0% of the repercussions!
