I got this email:
PayPay Inc.
Pay Safe and Easy
To All PayPay Customers
NOTICE OF FRAUD COMMITTED BY OSKAR DURIS.
In short, it is imperative that YOU DO NOT PROCESS any more transaction with
www.paypay.com. It is currently operating illegally and most of you will not recover your funds.
PayPay Inc. acquired the assets of WorldClearing entities less than a year ago, therefore is the legal owner of the domain name
www.paypay.com. Recently, it came to the attention of PayPay Inc. that Oskar Duris committed irregularities and possible criminal acts while operating the site paypay.com from 2003 to 2008. Oskar Duris used the funds from customers to pay for his personal expenses leaving a negative money balance with WorldClearing.
A month ago, following such discovery and request for explanation, Oskar Duris “hijacked” paypay.com by copying paypay.com software, database, and moved the copied software to Slovakia. PayPay Inc. filed a suit against Oskar Duris to recover all the “hijacked” domain names and filed a report with several government agencies against Oskar Duris. Oskar Duris is currently under investigation by the FBI and the IRS for his wrongdoing and possible criminal acts.
Therefore, PayPay Inc. reported the unlawful activities from Oskar Duris to all banks that had given its credit card processing abilities. After detailed investigations from each bank, they ALL concluded that
www.paypay.com was operated by Oskar Duris illegally and stop credit cards processing to Oskar Duris while leaving such processing abilities to PayPay Inc. through its new site
www.paypayinc.com.
PayPay Inc. is aware that Oskar Duris reported
www.paypayinc.com as a phishing site, in his continued effort to slander PayPay Inc., while displaying a note on every PayPay account related to that. PayPay Inc. has diligently worked out with Google, Firefox, and other browsers and has resolved this false reporting from Oskar Duris.
Due to the gravity of the situation, all banks, Google, and Firefox started an investigation. All of them have decided PayPay Inc was the rightful owner of the domain name and the credit card processing accounts. All banks transferred the credit card processing accounts to
www.paypayinc.com supporting the fact that Oskar Duris was operating fraudulently paypay.com.
Unfortunately, as Oskar Duris controls over PayPay Inc.’s staff in Slovakia and bank accounts in Eastern European countries, Oskar Duris can continue to pay his expenses using your funds. PayPay Inc. strongly advises you to withdraw all funds available on your account at
www.paypay.com or such funds may be lost.
PayPay Inc. will not process money transmitting transactions until further notice. PayPay Inc. will continue to allow merchants to process credit card payments through
www.paypayinc.com and will honor money withdrawal from approved credit card merchants only.
Please do not hesitate to contact PayPay Inc. if you have any further questions or if you need any assistance to substantiate the content of this email.
Sincerely,
Xavier Roy
Chairman & CEO
