Thread Name: BS: Nasty scam using PayPal
Subject: RE: BS: Nasty scam using PayPal
A couple years ago, someone used my Paypal account to purchase jewelry on Ebay and charge it to my credit-card. The fraud was quickly rectified, but the matter produced hours of work and frustration for me.

It was a real eye-opener to see that Paypal, my ISP and the credit-reporting bureaus had no interest in helping me out. For example, my ISP refused to give me a new e-mail address, and Paypal refused to close my account. (With Paypal, I finally beat my way to a screen that said my account would lapse if I didn't fix it. I let it lapse.)

I now have a new ISP and I don't have a Paypal account anymore. I feel safer that way.
