Hi,
My names steve & last week I used to work at paypal, given the lovely and wonderful job of freezing accounts of our valued customers. The picture of me above was taken by my wife the other day on a beach in cyprus where I am now living, basically Im on the run from the old bill, cos they think I was one of the main people, who conspired with paypal to defraud billions, by just freezing accounts out the blue for no good reason at all and nicking the money. The truth of the matter is I was just following orders from my superiors and I absolutely hated the job, but needed the money at the time and they were offering big commissions on top of the salary, so they kind of bribded me into it, knowing I had a big mortgate to pay and debts, etc.
Anyway I am now living happily in cyrpus with my wife and kids and would like to put it all behind me.
The main reason I write to this forum, is just really to say, steer well clear of paypal If you look at sites like
www.nopaypal.com
www.paypalwarning.com
www.paypalsucks.com
www.ripoffreport.com
and type in paypal
you will see exactly why
Some people probably never ahd a problem, this is cos they pick on weak and vunerable people with small balances, that aren’t worth getting a solicitor over, do it to millions and they make a fortune, nit caring less that the poor person, might need that money to feed his kids, etc.
Just use other alternatives like western union, stormpay, cheqie in the post, but not paypal, they are just a corrupt and criminally run firm, who really is best avoided at all costs.
Just glad I got out of it.
Best regards
Steve

I've been using Paypal for over 4 years and not aware of any fraudulent activities. If what you're saying is true, then how come you don't contact the FDIC or the FBI?? It's not that I don't trust you, but I need to see some headlines.

Hi Steve,
I've got a PayPal account. They want me to verify so that they can "Take unlimited amounts" from my Bank account. I had to close the last PayPAL account because my limit ran out. Next day I opened another, eventually my current one will need to be closed. THERE IS NO WAY I AM GOING TO LET THEM TAKE "UNLIMITED" FUNDS FROM MY BANK ACCOUNT!!! This was my opinion BEFORE I read your terrible story. I use my PayPal account to pay for purchases, I do not accept payments. I did lose some money when I closed my last account!!!

Steve, what is the proof that you worked at paypal?
If there is a well operating site in the world of e-business, there will surely be anti-sites for those business and paypal being the largest payments processor for millions of its customers, no wonder they have anitoipaypal sites or paypalsucks sites.

Sounds like you might be making a trip back to the USA some day to stand trial. Best of luck avoiding it.

Yes I had my bank details stolen all because of paypal. Luckily I sorted it before they had a chance to take any money. Good luck to you.
