I've heard too many horror stories about PayPal to use them in the first place, scams or not.

USPS money orders for me, or not at all.

I've always used Paypal, and will continue to until I am convinced otherwise. I've never had a problem so far, but I will go read!

OK... I read.

That kind of thing happens with many businesses... I just never, ever give out personal information to anyone. Not on the telephone, nor through e mail. I think that's just good business, right?

Thanks!
Jen

I've used Paypal for about 3 years and have a Paypal card. I have never had a problem.
If you log on to Paypal and it does not start with https, you are not on a Paypal page. I received the scam from both Paypal and Ebay.
There was a ton of personal information being asked for and right away I could tell that it was fraudulent. Anybody that would give out all that
personal info is going to have a problem somewhere down the road. And further, I have had all my mail stolen. They got those blank. unsolicited
visa checks. They cashed two of those at K-Mart
stores in Beaverton and Tualatin...one for over
$200+ and KMart couldn't have cared less.
I have shared that before, but those blank checks on dynamite.
