    Yet another Paypal bad story. They lost thier reputations in Asian nation. This is big problem for us.

    Xoom and Remit2india is best if you have some one in US or other nations.:)

    Nothing is secure on the Internet.

    Internet is also a home of frauders and hackers.

    So, we have to generate any secure method to stop this all.
    Also, some strong action against companies.(paypal, moneybrookers etc.)

    Last month I got a e-mail(fraud) from paypal. the site is same as to as paypal site and e-mail if from .

    I think its from paypal. e-mail is asking me for my login info. then I see it deeply and found its fraud e-mail. becoz with that e-mail I have no acc.
    I am also a webmaster. So, found it easily.

    But a layman can be easily foolish with this types of scams.

    Due to all this mostly peoples afraid to use CC. Otherwise Internet business becomes double. If we find any secure and gurenteed way. then Internet business becomes double or triple.

    no it is definitely not from paypal. email 'from's can easily be forged to make it look like it comes from paypal.com.

    YES, that was Not from paypal.

    Many times, I fear to login at paypal itself. I know it is preety safe, but still have fear.

    I too have got few mails of this kind and one was ****@paypal.com, other was ****@paypal.info. Damn....since that day....I have the fear.

    lol
    I am not joking...

    Wait for some days. Maybe you got this type of e-mail. then you believe.

    Main thing is I have no any paypal account. But, I got e-mail. One funny thing is I entered wrong info in the site same as to paypal.

    and I got your account is updated.

    So, thats show its totally spam.
    My mean is just to say Be Aware while using Paypal.

    I have a question here, may be it is too dumb, but I will ask.
    Paypal has a debit card. DOn't they provide it to people outside US?
    If yes, then use the debit card to withdraw money. Fee is $1.5 per transaction.
    There is also a 1.5% cashback if you use it as credit

    They provide it to people in the US. But it works worldwide, in any atm. So if you have a US paypal account & US mail forwarding...

    YIAM - any updates regarding your last request :confused:

    Hope this time 'processing' change to 'check issued' for your last withdrawal in time.

    Best of Luck.
