is paypal always asking public records questions when you call now

[Breakthecycle2]

Im not a newbie, however when "new" to me, issues come up I seek advice. This whole back and forth between us would be over if you just tried it.

Tried virgin mobiles is that what you are saying?

[Breakthecycle2]

Prepaids or no?

[danshan]

You are asking me if i tried virgin mobile prepaids? If so the answer is no, I have not had any accts created recently that did not have the new 21 day hold where you could remove it with verification all of them now are requiring the 150 60 day crap

[Breakthecycle2]

What are they asking to remove the holds? personal or business?

[danshan]

150 in sales 60 days of sales something like that, business and personal. Someone on the forum tried to say it had something to do with biz or pers but it does not just more "it worked for me talk"

[SamuelJackson]

150 in 60 days of sales? 150 usd, eur, gbp, ... ?

if it was 150 whatever currency only then you must've done a mistake somewhere to get your account suspicious. maybe you tried to force a bank withdraw too often or had some bad attempts on doing things (w/e , acc related) ?

[danshan]

Ok i think this hold is very common now. You should read the forum a little more to get some details on this type of hold.

Been getting the "can't verify your device" lately too. What I did was get a real number and add it to the account and have them text me a security code..which mean the phone number is legit. But this will still give me the "can't verify your device" error when I tried to withdraw..in other words, they are trying to do a phone verification TWICE. I had to call them up and explain the situation. They transferred me through about 2-3 reps and then to the SECURITY department... luckily I had a verified bank and cc on the account. I asked to withdrawal only $500 out of the $1200 I had in there. They didn't have a problem with it and lifted my WITHDRAWAL LIMIT right away.
