    Oh Look. Another PayPal scam.

    And people wonder why I don't use it, won't use it, forget it.

    PayPal Email Scam

    So Paydirect is looking good to me now and so is epassporte.

    you're against paypal because some moron is pulling a paypal scam?

    so when someone does the same with Paydirect or epassporte, will you turn your back on them too?

    hooray for being illogical!

        *sigh*

        Dude, when ya move, usually you can tell the company you've moved and give 'em the new address. For paypal to reinstate my account, I have to fax them proof of new home, proof of last address, driver's license and one other photo ID.

        For fuck's sake, I'm not going to jump through those hoops just to wait another 7-10 working days for them to reinstate my account. There's nothing in the account anyway, so fuck 'em.

        I'm tired of talking to their customer service people who have trouble speekie eengleesh. And if paypal didn't know this was going on, then why are they refusing to comment?? The least thing they could have said was, "We're sorry, we had no idea, it is being investigated." Instead they refused to comment. Makes one wonder.

            I have had some trouble with PayPal, but all in all they are pretty good.

                    The URL isn't in South Africa... the person is. The domain is hosted on Yahoo! Geocities.

                      What bank do you do business with? I'd guess CIBC?
