Paypal might speak to your Bank about personal details
 

Paypal limited one of my accounts and actually called Wells Fargo to verify my name on the bank account matched up with the alias name I was using for Paypal. Wells Fargo gave them my name on my bank account. This is the first time they did this to me on any of my accounts. However, I thought I'd let everyone know about this just as a heads up.

Wow i thought it was illegal for banks to give out any info to 3rd partys like paypal.

I called Wells Fargo's credit card department basically with questions to verify some things, basically it was fraud related. Wells Fargo would not tell me a single thing or even communicate with me, except reading the same unrelated pre-scripted form letter.

jadester714, you should immediately cancel your Wells Fargo bank account and tell them that they gave your personal information out to unauthorized third parties. Also try to file some complaints with the government about it. Also if you have more wells fargo accounts and you don't need them, I'd cancel them too and tell them that they give your personal info out to anyone who asks.

So all i would have to do is get ahold of some poor chaps wells fargo bank acc # and call them up and pretend im paypal rep and get all kinds of personal info from them.

All it would take is one paypal shill to come here pay you for your techniques and the cat would be out the bag. If worse comes to worse you could always use your real name on paypal. Lucky me i have a very very very common name :D

:rolleyes:

like always

Is this eve legal for them to do??!

Has anyone else had this problem with a bank other than Wells Fargo?

i never meet this problem and i use BOA(Bank of America)

Bank of American's risk department closed my accounts last month because the names on the Paypal deposits were different than my name. You just have to stay on your toes with all these people and be ready to adapt.

That is not what you said last month.
You told us that you opened about 8-10 accounts in less than a week (If I remember right)
Then you had large amounts of money going through them really quickly.
This made BOA think you were into money laundering.
THAT is why your accounts were closed down.
Why don't you post the truth and not this BS you are trying to tell people now?

when it comes to makeing money every one is all up in your bussiness If its not paypal its the bank account. I cash out at walmart to avoid ATM fees and Severivce fees from my debit card and low and behold i got a bitchy CSM telling me i cant use the auto checkout as a atm then asked me to show my id and the card to them which i had no problem cause everything matched but it gose to show if your makeing money every one seems to think its there civil duty to brown nose.

:D LOL , your so right !

If Wells fargo did that you need to go out and shop for a new house! They are not suppose to give ANY information out to anybody unless to law enforcement etc..

If I would you I would speak to a lawyer and the bank manager to come to a earlier conclusion on that matter

Well your in a sticky..If you take it that for the questions will arise..whya re you using an alias name..?

Thats another method I love..People behind me get mad.."Why does he keep buying packs of gum"?LOL

If you want to correspond with me on here, please try to keep up. You apparently don't read too well because I posted this information before. You should search the forums before posting.

What is with your love affair with B of A? Any time anyone has a problem with them you are the first one to get all hot and bothered about it. Pretty funny actually.

You are right. So far so good with WaMu. I'm also having good luck so far with Wells Fargo, Citibank, and the local credit union. I think it is best to spread the wealth around in different banks. That way, if one shuts you down then you can regroup quicker with the others.

B of A...roused to action?...say it aint so? LOL

Isn't wells fargo the bank that paypal uses to hold all their money in? They are probably giving info back and forth on all the customers.

Yeah, I think you are right about that.

Also, Wells Fargo is behind Propay. To me that kind of explains why Ebay is so cozy with Propay now.

can you guys please PM me what is the techniques?

Thanks
