just a warning usurped from another forum

[Charon]

people whom use their cc, debit card, and or paypal, to make purchases of another nature, are suddenly having their accounts closed. no debates about it.

just closed.

so, if one can, figure out btcoin, unless that is easily tracked to your payment system.

or use a vendor whom will take cash.

this is so serious.

There is more risk using bitcoin in terms of not having any option in the case of a scam. So need to be careful out there when choosing vendors as well.

possibly. i am way older than u guys. never used bit coin or anything unusual.

i just read that people whom used paypal for 20 yrs with only a couple purchases for meds, and same with debit and credit cards, are having their accounts shut down.

no refunds. my social security to my bank acct is all i have in this world.

just, if u know what u r doing, and r not worried, wonderbarre.

but some of us survive only on the pittance we receive from social security.. i had gone in for food stamps, and they freaked out and said i am permanently disabled now when they saw my records.

if i get cut off from my bank whom has a history of wrong doing, i am screwed.

Stay safe.

That is frightening, appreciate the warning. It seems like it is always the ones who do not deserve it who get short end..

I only use btc for magazine purchases with a wallet that only I control. If you spend btc from an exchange they can/will shut down your account down just like any other payment service.

Had a 23 year old Paypal account with out a problem!!! Then directly after a refund from mag purchase I was put on limited use which actually meant No use,,, I could not delete bank and CC info,,, PP stole the money in my now useless PP business Debit card besides that PP confiscated over 100$ I donated to the World Food Bank...

I am so sorry. This all stinks.

I had a PP acct... Then I got to "hearing" bad things they were/are doing to folks..

After you put your bank and/or CC details in there, they won't let you
remove them ..... SO

I got a GreenDot card, put $5 on it... Opened an acct with $40 at a bank I was never gonna use,
They will let you "update" your info with new info... I took my main bank and CC info out after adding
my "new and improved" info... ... Then I closed that bank acct and used what I could off the Greendot...

That worked when I did it end of last year ...

PayPal is now one of the Alphabet Groups. “PP.”

I’m not saying they’re ALL bad. But it’s getting to a point where they will either turn bad, or curl up and die.
