 Paypal fraud limitation?
This post really isnt a question, rather, just something that happened to me on paypal.
So, I had created an ebay/pp stealth account. Everything was fine with it, etc.
I sold my first item on there and instantly my paypal became limited.
However, It became limited b/c the stealth info I had chosen --- get this -- had gotten linked in the past to a previous person, with "some of the same personal information" according to paypal. They meant that I had created a stealth account with the same name as someone who had an account with a negative balance and that I was now responsible for that account and money  . What are the odds!! Seriously lol.. I wanted to panic.
Instead, I simply called them and said.. "I never had a pp account before, that is not my email. No I never lived at _______, no i never banked at _________" . So they opened a "Fraud investigation Case" and would check all the information -- they said " bank information, emails, addresses, etc" would be used to determine that "I" indeed (my stealth alter ago of course) never did that.
They said it would take 2 business days. It took 2 hours, and my account was restored without any problems.
So yeah-- what would be the percentage that I would create a name. address. etc of an actual person with the same name who had neg. balance pp? Anyone else had that happen?
Just curious. Thanks for reading this L-O-N-G post.   |
