You should never have to trick something into working properly.
And about the phishing emails, the fact that none of the emails I get from "Paypal" has my name on them definetely set off alarms. Still, they appear to come from address that looks like paypal. Some of them will appear to come from accounts@paypal.com. People have been trying to scam Paypal customers for so long that they are getting quite good at faking Paypal emails. |
I couldn't agree with you more about the concept, but I just wanted to note about the phishing scams. One of the first things I learned from another web site I'm a member of was how to go through an internet server and create an e-mail with a false "@" addy. Use to send my friends e-mails from "mikeshouseoftacos.com". It's a little disturbing at how easy it really was to do, to be honest with you. That was back in 97-98 though, so I don't know if they have patched any leaks like that anymore. |

Just never log in to your acct using any emails. Go directly to the secure site, and log in from there. |

| Rocky, I have to ask. Do you type by smashing your face into the keyboard? You're the only person I know who could make a typo when posting a "+1". |

it means that if you dont play a silly game like you mentioned ,the "trade' is reversed and you lose.
Thats why PP isnt accepted here and many other places.If ya have to play tricky lil games ,then its not worth doing. |

Despite the informative nature of this thread, I'm locking it.
1. Paypal does not allow funding online gaming.
2. A workaround, however insulated from possible sanctions, is still a workaround.
3. Requests for Paypal transfers have not been allowed here for quite some time, for good reasons.
4. Advocacy of violating their User Agreement may encourage others to involve themselves in a Paypal trade.
5. Despite an abundance of available information, most new traders fail to grasp the basic concepts of safe trading. I don't want to see them get involved in an inherently risky and complicated trade.
6. There exists several other safe and viable alternatives to fund your FT account.
If there is further need to post here, please contact a moderator. |
