Default paypal

so i decided that in order to really be apart of this crossfire community i need a set of the revised emblems. so i go to send the payment i come back and paypal froze my account and says its frozen. so i go to research and see if i'm the only one. turns out they freeze thousands of accounts and it takes months to get your money. they have class action law suits left and right. i just hope andrew got the money on his end before the froze my account.

Sounds like someone hacked into Paypal's system and got in pretty deep, I'll have to check mine out too. Damn internet sucks!

so i looked into this problem... paypal has a hold on $600 dollars of my money and won't release. i can't get an answer as to why they have a hold or when i can get my money back. it happens to thousands of people they even have i hate paypal sites. one guy said they held his money for up to six months and some never saw the money again. paypal has class action suits up the ying yang. they do this to thousands of people for no reason. they say i have suspicious activity? all i did was try to buy crossfire emblems and crossfire filters. k&n air filters and cabin filter and a fuel filter. they call that suspicious. i can't do anything about it. they want my social security my id, they want me to fax over proof of address and a bunch of other stuff. other people say they have done all of this and still didn't get the money back. how can a multi million dollar company get away with this!!!

Just be sure you are going to the legitimate Pay Pal site. If the Phishers tap your computer they can direct you to their site and ask for all kinds of personal information. (SCARY).
