PayPal limited asking for card statement of a VCC - Smartest move? [2 Options!]
so after having my us-PayPal account created and verified with a VCC [yandex-money].
a couple of months ago PayPal just limited my account.
They asked me to:
"Confirm a credit or debit card you have linked to your account by uploading your most recent card statement."
And they said:
"We noticed some unusual activity on the credit card linked to your PayPal
account."
you could say that the account is stealth,
Unfortunately, it had to be stealth because I live outside the USA, so most of the info had to be not-real to make it match with everything else very well.
# they required me to prove my identity using one of three options, I already did that [phone_text method].
# the second thing they required is the card statement, and of course, because it's a virtual credit card that won't be very easy.
After some research I have narrowed it down to two critical choices:
(Option 1: [come clean])
now because I couldn't find anything in their TOC that states anything against the use of Virtual Credit cards [VCC]
and because Yandex-money VCC is not just a random non-valid one. as far as I'm aware.
And because obviously, they can easily deduce that card is issued by yandex_bank if they were to use the 1st 6 digits [bin] for instance.
I thought to just go ahead and tell them that I'm using a VCC and I can't provide a card statement,
though I'm not sure of giving them a screenshot of the account that has the VCC to proof that I own it and haven't bought it would be enough.
now I thought I should start slowly and hit them on facebook without even providing my email 1st I just wanna see the chances I have,
and we can go from there.
After giving them the account info, however, it's at that point where option 2 is no longer available.
1#) Questions:
1) what is the possibility of un-limiting my account if I'm using a VCC assuming I provided everything possible to provide such as a screenshot of the VCC page?
2) will they ask for other stuff?
3) will they just keep limiting my account for 180?
4) will they permanently limit my account and I should just forget that my hard earned money exist?
(Option 2: [try to outsmart them])
faking the card statement!
Alright, so I would either make it my self if I can get my self an acceptable card statement.
or better yet use a service like SecondEyesoloution to make the card statement it costs like 30$
now because they can figure out which bank issued the card which is a Russian bank
I'm not sure if the card statement should match that or a US bank.
2#) Questions:
1) what is the possibility of un-limiting my account going this way against just telling them I'm using a VCC?
2) will they accept the statement if it's from a Russian bank but it's linked to a US Paypal?
3) if they found out that it's -counterfeit- will they lock the money forever?
4) do they even check the 1st 6 digits or [bin]?
going this way will also most likely cancel options 1.
or maybe there is a better 3rd option that I haven't thought of
based on your experience and if you are in such a position what will be your next move?
I would sincerely appreciate it if you cast your vote on this.
thank you very much in advance. |
