    Greetings, DP

    I've got your attention " Illegal Activities on DP ".

    The name says it all....

    There are a fair few members on here who are offering services such as -

    Verify your paypal account
    Sell/Exchange Paypal & eBay accounts


    These people are providing possibly illegally obtained information such as bank accounts, credit card information to be used for - verifying paypal/ebay accounts and to create accounts which will then be sold off.

    AFAIK - This is classed as fraud. They are creating accounts with information/credentials which they have no ownership of. This is also breaching the TOS of both Paypal and eBay - as both sites have a similar TOS - You the account owner MUST verify the account, You cannot sell, exchange or manufacture accounts for resale.

    These people who are offering the service of verifying an account - is indeed creating a felony for themselves as this is using ones documents to a pecuniary advantage.

    Now, i guess you are all wondering whats all the fuss about?

    - Promoting fraud
    - Higher fees to all us customers of Paypal and eBay because higher fraud protection and staffing resources are required.
    - Possible scamming - Vulnerable DP members at risk.

    I think DP's administration needs to investigate the amount of fraud happening on DP - especially with the Paypal/eBay account verification and accounts manufacturing.

    What do you all think DP?

    No need to make a thread, just use the report post button and leave the Moderators sort it out.

    Thanks Brian
