Paypal have put a notice on my account due to having £1200 pass through it in 5 or more years since i have used it, something to do with money laundering investigations, they have asked for a credit card to be listed on the account and set up a direct debit to my bank account so they can deposit a set sum into the account and for me to tell them how much was deposited to varify my accounts validity.

Anyone else had this ? I am always wary of this sort of thing but comes up on the paypal site when i log in.

Yep had it a few years ago. Bit of a pain at the time but haven't had to do it since.

 

Definately a Paypal thing then.

Yes its just a security thing, nothing to worry about

 

Yep, had to do it too

 

i had to do it on mine they deposit two small amounts mine were something like 16p and 10p and then you tell them they then know it is a vailid user its just to help stop fraud

 

the fucking next one is they keep every penny you receive for up to 21 days

they have done that too mine fuck knows why and theres nothing i can do about it hence i dont take paypal no more lol

 

Its all for security. I would rather they went OTT with the security precautions. May be a bit of a pain in the arse for you sometimes, but may save you getting fucked over in the future!

 

just get it over and done with as you only do this once

 

Nice one thanks for the replies, so many scams on the go cant be to careful.
