I got an email saying I have only 150 buck left on my payal limit. Is that for real/? My paypal goes onto my credit card. It wants me to verify my bank account info but I don't have it hooked up to my bank, just my card.

Anyone else get this??

Sounds like a scam. You might want to check your credit card transactions and make sure its not close to being maxxed out, and they are legit. My cc number was stolen last year and some charges were on there I did not make.I had my cc linked to paypal, no bank acct. I found out when I tried to purchase something and it was denied. It was a big hassle and mess. Now I check my cards every couple days and review all the transactions. Lesson learned.
 
might be a scam.. Send me all your bank information. Account #s and passwords and I'll have my buddy Habeeb from Nigeria check it out for ya.
 
yesterday some clown overseas tried to charge 1k to my debit card for airplane parts from a Co. in boston, didn't have my pin so the bank declined it so meantime i can't use my card and have to wait on a new one. what a PITA :mad2:

I did get this notice a long time ago, and sure enough it was real. I had to associate my bank account with my paypal for me to continue using them.

Serious?? I was thinking of opening a new paypal acct with my same cc number to avoid linking Pay pal to my bank.
 
Yes, the limit is real. IMO, it's partly to save PayPal the processing fees charged by the credit card companies. Some, if not all, of those fees are passed on to the person receiving funds. If they can draw from an account without any fees but still charge their fee why wouldn't they want to do that? They have to make money somehow.

If I ever get an email like that, I DO NOT respond via the email link, I log into the PayPal or whatever the account is and see if I have messages there. I never respond to en email link directly if it involves money or account information. Too much fishing devices out there to get my personal information. Just my 2 cents :)
 
A couple of days ago I got a call from the fraud dept. at my bank. They said someone tried to purchase travel with my credit card and they were overseas. They did not get by with it. The bank shut down the card and they are sending me another one.

Last year this happened to me twice with a debit card. There is a lot of Phishing going on in the e-mails we get. Never respond to them and delete them.
 
My credit card was issued thru a credit union and they suggested for my own protection to file a police report about the fraud. When I was at the police station giving the info, the officer told me 99% of credit card fraud is overseas because it cant be prosecuted as a felony. Mine was traced to London England but thats about as far as it went. I dont think I would want to link a paypal to a bank acct after that crap. The indentity theft thing really freaks me out now after that incident.
 
This week my cc was hit from itunes @ $40 and Macy's @ $300 and the cc company suspended my card as suspicious fraudulent spending.
They sent me an email with a the fraud department phone number but I called the number on the back of my card.
Even though this was a legitimate email from the cc company I would only use the phone number on my card.
We went through my account purchases and those were the only two fraudulent purchases.
They took them off my account and issued me a new account number in minutes.
This is the cc that I use for internet and small amount purchases with only a $300 limit.
The last legitimate purchases were at Red Lobster in Lancaster, CA and onlinemazdaparts.com in Charlotte, NC.
