Paypal ripoff trick you into signing up their free service Omaha Nebraska
Paypal held over $1000 of my money hostage and made me give my private information (as a ransom) to have my own money back. Paypal is a scam.
They trick you into signing up their free service and when you have a positive balance in your account they put BS account limitations on you and force you to provide more than necessary info in order for you to get your money back. More info than what a typical bank, employer, or DMV would need from you.
They said it is for our protection, and yet they said they don't know who you are until you provide all the BS personal info they request from you.
If anyone know of a class action against Paypal for this type of BS practic please let me know. If they did this (i am sure they did already) to a thousand people, imagine how musch free money thay have acquired from the public.

Did you get this request by email? NEVER click on any link in an email that appears to be from payPal that asks for information. These are "phishing" attempts to get your bank info. Check the source of any email and send to [email protected] if not legitimate. What free service did they trick you into signing up for? Keep in mind that PayPal is NOT a bank and is NOT bound by federal banking regulations. Also, your money in a PayPal account is NOT FDIC insured.
