How to detect a Paypal Scam

You have to do better than that you Paypal scammers!

This is the second time that I received an email from somebody who was claiming that they’re from PAYPAL, telling me to update my records to protect my account. I checked my Yahoo email one morning and got this message below telling me that my account will be suspended on September 20 in case I don’t update my records.

$201 SocialSpark cashout

I cashed out some funds from SocialSpark! I withdrew 201 dollars from my account which is the amount accumulated ever since I became active in looking for opportunities some time last June 2009. Now I can put them in my paypal account so I could just accumulate the money to pay off old debts. I’m glad, really really glad of SocialSpark as it’s the only big money-making opportunity that I’ve been getting these months (can’t stress this as much as I can). At least there’s a somewhat steady stream of tasks that I get to write for my blogs and the amounts are big (least is $5 per post and would reach $25). Even if all my sites’ Page Ranks are 0, I still got to be competitive because of RealRank. Thanks SocialSpark!

Paypal issues

So many issues have been going on with my Paypal account. Grrrr… And I’m also pretty busy with my full time job that I can’t seem to update this site. But somehow, I’m glad that these issues are popping up, they help me have a topic to write about in this blog. I just don’t like it that everything is coming to my direction in bulk.

Paypal account limited status

My account has been reduced to a LIMITED status.

Because of the previous issue I had with somebody hacking my paypal account, I’ve been undergoing a lot of changes to help boost the security. Ever since my paypal account got hacked, I received a number of precautionary measures to help keep my account more secure. One of which is to change my password to a stronger one. I was able to set-up two security questions as well.
