is paypal always asking public records questions when you call now
 

is this a given when you have to call into paypal now? they are going to start looking up public records?
last time i did this a week ago (a different stealth acct), they couldnt find public records info, so she asked for my full social sec # LOL

give me a break, i was trying to add a bank account to my paypal and it wouldnt work. so they are looking up public records/demanding full ss# just to add a bank account.

this current stealth account problem i have now is a different situation, trying to make a withdrawal and keep getting "can't recognize your device" phone verify which obviously isn't working

i sent them email saying "hey i can't withdraw, your automated response email didn't work, please help" and they said nothing other than "call our 800 #"

thanks as always:mod:

This is popping up even more now and seems like they are putting new measures in place. I have been withdrawing from my pp for months and all of a sudden they are asking to verify via a text or call. The issue is the error msg is saying the phone is not registered to you. Not sure how to resolve this issue.

yep, same here

Definitely seeing this as well. What I make sure to do is have a dedicated phone # that I'm able to re-use if at any point PayPal needs to confirm something.

Any of you got a working phone number on your accounts?

Give more info please.

Re-use? What do you mean

Re: is paypal always asking public records questions when you call now
 

He is talking about keeping the number on the account active which is a good idea but absolutely will not get by the call issue

Re: is paypal always asking public records questions when you call now
 

Just storing the actual phone that was used to create the stealth account, in case I ever have to receive a confirming call/text.

so is this the end of stealth accounts ? if you bought a used paypal ebay account and they confirmed it by phone . now if you want to withdraw theyll ask to confirm it by phone what do you do ?

The Phone Number I use when creating the account always works for me, I made a lot of accounts with Text + , and just purchased the number $1.99 and it renews each year so you can keep the number

And anytime I get the verification I just choose the call option because the App does not accept text, and it has been working on every account

I also use TextNow, net10, and tracFone, they all work as long as it's the number used when I registered the account

Re: is paypal always asking public records questions when you call now
 

oh ok so the call option still works so no need to panic ! great news guys ! there still hope in the end of this dark tunnel for me !

Re: is paypal always asking public records questions when you call now

Dude not to be rude really but looking at your starting threads your not totally ready to be doing much advising. You from your threads you started recently are a newbie. Being new is OK just take your time learn and grow!
