Fake PayPal Site

Andrew — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 03:40:35 +0000

I was almost scammed off by this almost real PayPal site. The email was sent like this:

My first reaction was panicked, because all my online revenue was from PayPal, so if my PayPal got limited I’m death soon. On the other hand, I looked into the name they called me was totally wrong though. Remember, PayPal NEVER use “Dear PayPal account holder”, they have our information and our name on their database. Anyway, this scammer was clever enough to use almost the exact same URL address…

http://www.paypal.com-o.us

See! How clever this is, anyway, I’m not fooled by this

PayPal Pending Still Working

Here is the quote from the last email they’ve sent to me just a moment ago.

Currently, all Original Credit withdrawals attempted after Jan 24th are remaining in a pending status. This is a known issue and our technical department are actively working to resolve.

Will this become one of the incident happened year ago? Last year there was a similar technical issue happened in Malaysia, where Malaysian cannot receive any payment beside adding a US bank, but this case solved within a month time. However, comparing both (Now and previous incident) incident, this one here is more serious, as this is a worldwide problem.

For those who are having this problem, I think patient is the only key now.

PayPal Pending Withdrawal

I don’t know how many people have this problem here, for me as a Malaysian, this is another shocking thing happen within the PayPal community. I searched around the internet forums and google, most people who having this problem were from Philippine. So far I’m still having my pending status from PayPal…

That is exactly my PayPal withdrawal screenshot, it’s been week that PayPal holding my money pending it out to my debit card So far I haven’t heard of anyone from Malaysia are having this problem, that’s why I’m so worry about my money now. I can’t cancel this withdrawal as well, which means my money is somewhere else and I can’t touch them too (Worst part is they (PayPal) don’t give interest even they’re holding it). There are few urgent thing happening to me now and I’m in need of this money and PayPal just don’t want to release my money to me Damn… Another bad night… Somehow, the down falls of US Dollar against RM is also one of my concern. The longer they holding my money, the worthless my money will become, or that is the tactic PayPal using now?

Are you having this problem too?
