Even without the scam, PayPal is a scam....

More than a few providers have told me that they were victimized by PayPal because they used it for escorting and had their funds expropriated or frozen.  PayPal preys on them knowing that they will not file any suit on account of it being illegal activity.  Apparently PayPal's TOS allow them to do this.

Western Union, by the way, is even worse.

Stick to Green Dot.  I've never heard any complaints about them.

I received an email at my Courtney Ova email asking me to log into PayPal through their link. My first read through I panicked and wondered how they figured out who I was... I then read it again and there were a bunch of misspellings.  

Obviously, I didn't sign in, but some people may forget what email they're in and click it. Just be careful.

Paypal links will always begin with https://www.paypal.com. Anything other than this link is bogus. This Paypal scam has been around for years and they are mining all anonymous email addresses such as those on yahoo and gmail.

If you hover your mouse over a link, the bottom of the screen will say which website the link really goes to.

Not sure who's sending them, but if they could get their grammar squared away and figure out how to use spell check those messages would be a lot more effective!

"Maybe this would actually work if it didn't sound like you were from some foreign country w broken English!" But then I thought, hmmm.. Maybe that'll make them successful! Lol

But then deleted them without sending after I thought better of it. :)

It's a stolen server or multiple servers that were taken over by criminal organizations in countries that are well known for these types of scams. Which explains why the English is so bad, lol.

It's not just Paypal, you'll get emails that look like they're coming from your own bank and I've seen some where the English is excellent. The telltale sign is always checking the real URL with the mouse hover, sure as shit it'll always point somewhere else than your real bank's URL.

If I get an email asking me to log into any account I never do it from the email. Always open a new tab or window in a browser and go to the site yourself, then log in.  

Not sure if its fixed yet, but a similar scam can go on with the ad links at the top of searches in google, yahoo, etc.  The ad would allow the advertiser to type what looked like a link http:\\www.blah.com, but the real link it took you to was different. So stick with the organic search results and avoid the ad links if possible.

Especially for women,  cuz paypal requires you to use real name.  

 They freeze money whenever they want. PayPal even put my biz account on restriction at one point when I haven't done anything fraudulent or used it for hobby.  

Several girls have told me they will never use PayPal again after experiencing what you said or when client reversed payment "accidentally".  

It also reveals real name.  Unless the amount is small,  it's not worth it.  Plenty of other ways to pay.

They closed my account just for depositing a GD card and then withdrawing through my bank. Retarded.

I don't have the foggiest clue how it does it but it's supposedly private and can send receive payments anonymously.

That's too bad to hear that GD has begun to act like a jerk.  Many gals I know use it and swear by it.

It might become one, but right now is too unstable for me to consider it legit.  One vendor gets hacked that the value of everyone's bitcoins takes a nosedive?  That's too unstable to be considered legit.

We need a special currency to hobby with.  Dickcoins?   Pussypennies? Probably should be PussyFranklins...

Gambler, could the $500 dollar bill be considered the golden kitty or currency?  Also if you had to design the bill, would you a picture of a president winking at a woman's vagina with a dollar sign on it?  Or better yet could it be you if you were an owner of a Las Vegas brothel?

PayPal does not want prostitution money passing through their hands any more then they want drug dealers using their services. Did you forget that prostitution is illegal?

Only an idiot would use them for payment in either direction anyhow considering the other risks such as several branches of the government getting the skinny.

For giggles I put the curser over the from & it's never anybody I know.  I think a lot of "tracking cookies" are mining for hackers & scammers.  I've begun using most private browser mode & have cut my spam by 90% or more.  Hate those Bastards.
