Hi, iv found some very useful info on this site so want to thanks everything firstly for that and i thought id sign up and see if you could help me with this problem. Im a UK resident and looking for a way to verify my paypal account. are there any 'virtual' bank accounts like the virtual visa cards? im using a VVC as a card but dont have a bank account to verify my account with. Can anyone help? thanks in advance
Why not just open a bank account because in the end you still need to withdraw your money and you most probably need a real bank account for that. It is really not difficult opening a physical bank account and at the same time a credit or debit card in the UK.
I agree with Eddy - open a real bank account. I'm UK too and the process of getting verified if you have an account is very simple. They also send 2 small test deposits to your account so you could be up to £2 richer!
well I used accountnow.net and gave them a fake SS# and fake everything. Then I got a bank account number and routing set up instantly and I was able to verify my account on paypal and even better, I withdrew my money to my virtual bank and was able to do echecks and stuff with it. But I warn you, DON'T PUT ANY CORRECT INFO!
Er, so you paid the $10 sign up fee and the $4.95 per month "maintenece fee" for this account. Either way this is incredibly dodgy. Excuse my ignorance, but why would you verify with a real bank account ?
Why do you want to go through all the illegal options ? Paypal requires you to be 18 and above before you can open an account with them as per the Terms and Conditions that you agree upon. At that age, you should not have any problem opening up a bank account. https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/ua-outside According to http://www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk/pdfs/bank_accounts.pdf , you should be able to open a bank account if you are 16 years old.
hi the reason im asking is that i have a suspended account on paypal as a fraudulent buyer made a £400 chargeback on me 3 months after they recieved the goods and i refused to pay them back. Therefore i have to have an account which is not linked to me in any way so i cant open a bank account. Can anybody help? Im basically looking for a UK equivalent of virtualmoneyinc thanks
I ask it because I think the thread starter is I think only a kid thats why he can't open a real bank account on UK. I'm not from UK though. And I'm at legal age now to open bank account here.
My brother's friend who is 13 opened up a "Savings" Account in Canada, so i'm pretty sure at the age of 13 you can get a legal and legit bank account in N.A, not sure about UK or EU.

Yeah, use all the fake information that you want because after ending to fill in your form you will be requested to send proof of your identinty to process your order. I don't understadn how you could bet a card and withdraw unles you are provinding us with fake testimonials too
