i bought a use light off the classifieds

payed by paypal

and paypal the **** locked my account ! – i was selected randomly for "further security"

random my arse – its because ive logged in from a satelite connection in west africa.

They want me to confirm my id by inputting the full card number off my card but thats in my top drawer in aberdeen ! im in equitorial guinea till october !

shower of ****.

anyone out there that knows me want to take a bank transfer for 25 quid & the paypal fee and forward it on to podium as gift for me please ?

ill have to sort paypal out when i get back to the uk !

I think I can trust you Terry 😉

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Not their fault you haven't got your card.

would you carry your bank card in west africa ?

ah fair point, I only ever carry it when I nip over to southeast africa, and then only if Im there for a weekend or shorter 😉

FFS you would be moaning even louder if paypal had just been hacked and taken all your money off you

Now I hate paypal more than most but for once it sounds like they done good

dont mind doing it for you if you still need helping out

have my own security precautions – that is the card that i use for it has no money in the card i use and no bank a/c is attached to it

thats more for protection from paypal them selves than scammers but it has dual purpose !

So you're in West Africa and you want me to send you money via paypal? Where's my promise of inheritance or a lottery win?

Blimey, you guys are getting slack. 🙄

Are you 100% sure that the site you are looking at is genuine?

To be fair, and I am Paypal hater due to the fact they are a lore unto themselves, if someone accessed my paypal via satellite phone in Africa then I would expect them to have a look at what was going on.

So Paypal are ****, but this time maybe rightly so?

yes im dealing with podium and he has been informed of the issue its a paypal site – i didnt click any links i went to the paypal site of my own accord to check this.

I guess its right that they check but its a royal pain in the arse

big thanks to BRUNEEP up there!!
