Should I enter a fake, stolen, or other person's social security SS number?...NO NO!

lolpie · 02-12-2008, 02:25 PM

My real eBay account was suspended a few months ago, but my PayPal account linked to it wasn't limited. Both accounts had my real name, address, SS, etc...

Now I made a new eBay account and a new PayPal account (both with fake info). I want to remove the $500 limit from PayPal...what should I do? I already confirmed my bank, the IED thing, the only thing left is the SS number.

What should I do?
Should I change my PayPal name to my real name, then put in my real SS?

Thanks!

if you use your real info they will know who you are and close your ebay and paypal account. you can't use a fake ss# either. they will also know that info is not correct.

sdot10 · 02-12-2008, 03:15 PM

no plus you wont be able to do it anyway. How are you not able to get the limit off. You gave the bank account and expanded use number right. You only have to do 2 out of 3. If it comes down to your SS# then just call and tell them you do not ever give out your SS# and that you would like to use alternative methods.

But this could all be for nothing because it seems like if you used real info on both accounts its only a matter of time before they link them.

twdell · 02-12-2008, 03:27 PM

have you tried to get around the ss# by telling them you will not give it? if so has it worked, and what are their alternative methods?

I wonder how long it's going to be before they just ask ALL new Paypal accounts for a SSN right away as a requirement?? Seems like it's only a matter of time.

That's easy enough to get around if you REALLY must use paypal. It's not like you're applying for credit and paypal is not a bank. It won't even show up on a credit report. There are a million websites that offer services to look up ppl thru their ssn for $9.95. Just make one up and you're bound to get someone. There are some that even offer free trials. The whole purpose of the ssn is that it is free for anyone to use as long as you pay a website for the info. Someone could be using yours or mine right now.

twdell · 02-12-2008, 04:11 PM

yeah, i would rather not even use paypal then. that sounds kind of scary to me. i don't like to take chances like that.

lolpie · 02-12-2008, 06:12 PM

Oh so you only have to do 2 out of 3? I thought it was all 3...phew

twdell · 02-12-2008, 06:44 PM

2 out of 3 will work until you start taking money out of the account then they will ask for your ss#.

In my experience they only require 2 out of 3. You never have to do all 3!

koalawash · 02-12-2008, 10:18 PM

For me, it was never as soon as you tried to withdraw anything the first time! They must have really changed things up in the last 2 months or so..

twdell · 02-12-2008, 10:37 PM

i asked the resolution manager at paypal if i would be limited in the future if i started taking in more money. he said as long as it wasn't a sudden jump from what i have normally been taking it will be okay. in other words take it slow and do a steady increase in funds going through the account. don't go from taking in $500 a week to suddenly doing $10,000 a week.

Ballsack · 02-12-2008, 10:46 PM

Translation, "we'll limit you if you start making money" end of story.

Ballsack · 02-13-2008, 04:04 AM

Who's talking about 10k a week? If you make a few hundred a week and you start withdrawing expect to get limited verrrry soon.

twdell · 02-13-2008, 07:34 AM

yes, exactly. that's all i was bringing in and i gace a legit ss#. still got limited.

Modee · 02-13-2008, 11:44 AM

Do NOT enter a fake SS #. If it works, you are guilty of identity fraud. And most likely it won't work unless you miraculously manage to match that number with the name you have given.

Somewhat true. But if one of those three requests is the SS #, PP will always ask for it eventually.

Dont Give Paypal No S.s!!! Screw Them!!

Modee · 03-01-2008, 01:14 AM

Sure pal, sure. Keep coming back - you'll figure out the difference between what you'd like to do, and what you must do, eventually.

Could tell names of these services? Do they accept your payments and forward them to you? How safe are they?
