    Today evening paypal opened a case against my account regarding "Our system detected unusual activity on a credit card linked to your PayPal account."

    Actually I didn't attached any credit card to my paypal account and I dont have any creditcards..

    And also they showed me some solutions to solve to this case...which includes "Confirm your 4 digit paypal number" which i don't have one???

    What should I do now?? Can any one help me out?

    Why don't you Call or Email PayPal, as none of us will be able to edit your PayPal account here :D

    Tell then that you don't have a CC and see what they say.

    Did you by any chance use anything like a VCC or Debit card to verify your account or it is unverified ?

    Incidentally, how were you notified ? Was it through an email or prompting at their website ? If it is an email, it could be a phishing email, make sure the email is address specifically to your name.

    Obviously not if you are not from the US, Germany, UK or Australia. In those countries, you can verify using your bank account.

    It may work but I supposed if you plan to use your brother's CC to verify your account then I am afraid you don't understand what verification is about.

    Verification is about using a 3rd party to certify that you are who you claim you are. Using your brother's CC is telling Paypal that your brother is you.

    My question to you is can you use your brother's passport and travel out of the country ?

    It may work but it is indeed not the right thing to do and if you have a conscience you will not do it.

    So the only solution i have is...to get a CC to verify my account or
    leave the account for 180 days and redeem balance to my bank account then(after 6 months)............

    I heard that we may ask them to transfer my funds to my another paypal account (premier....the one I am using now is personal)

    If this was emailed to you, that's a rip off, don't enter your user info.s !!

    This might well be a loose hacking trick ;)

    I recommend you to-

    1. change your password
    2. get your account verified

    You will be good by then ! :)
