I call it PainPal
The service PainPal offers is to facilitate payments. However, as I have observed over the years, PainPal declines payments at will, often under circumstances when you really need the payment to go through. ex: missing a connecting flight & having to pay for another flight, in a hurry, to avoid being stranded. Payments are declined to serve PainPal's interests, not that of its customers, defeating the very purpose it claims to serve.
A while back I noted here that someone had deposited $0.01 in my PayPal account and I was wondering what sort of scam it might be part of. I reported it and PayPal said they found nothing untoward.
Now PayPal has locked my account due to suspicious activity. 🤦♂️
They wanted to know what I'd shipped or sold last month (nothing, which I explained) and then demanded I upload a scan of some form of government ID.
No.
Luckily, I've learned through others' experience to never leave money there, so I can happily just close my account with no loss (except the $0.01!).
What the hell, Paypal? They have a "signup reward" that's a fucking LOTTERY?
They could just give everyone the minimum amount possible and go "sorry you didn't win bigger!" – or nothing at all, with that "chance to win" fine print. Even besides any funny business like that, it's still /scummy/.
Not that Paypal being scummy is /anything/ new.
#fuckpaypal@Meshelly Make sure you're careful with PP!
They recently fucked me over, someone sent me money and then they took it back weeks later after I spent it and they sided with the customer when they said it was 'unauthorised' even though it was multiple payments over a few weeks.
Don't mean to freak you out, just wish I had been told how easy it was to be scammed by a huge company for doing nothing wrong... Now i'm 4K in debt with PP. #FuckPayPal
