WARNING = PayPal = Unauthorized Stolen Funds = Bank Funds ($’s)


 


====================================


 


My History:


 


I have been with eBay, since Dec. 1999.


I have been using PayPal, from the very beginning.


 


Due to the increase of credit card (#’s) number thefts,


I no longer use a registered “Credit Card” on my PayPal account.


My credit card supplier, has changed my credit card #’s twice, (x2),


due to internet card (#) thefts, from their own corporation.


 


I always make sure that I have enough funds ($’s) in my PayPal account,


before I make any eBay purchases.


If I require more funds ($’s) in my PayPal account, I will transfer funds ($’s),


from my private “home” bank account, to my PayPal account.


When I purchase an eBay item and do not have enough funds ($’s),


-          PayPal will withdraw funds ($’s) from my private “home” bank account,


-          after my approval, when item was purchased.


 


Special Note: 


A financial eBay transaction, withdrawing funds ($’s) from my private “home” bank account,


is “always” approved by me first, (prior) before I send any payment ($’s) to the eBay seller,


or to send money /funds, ($’s) to my PayPal account.


 


====================================


 


My PayPal Theft:


Over a year ago, (2011), I purchased a computer firewall software. (Zone Alarm).


and I paid Check Point Software Technologies, using PayPal.


 


I recently received a PayPal bill of $55.00 from a software company, without my prior approval.


Some computer software companies, will place you on automatic “yearly” updates,


withdrawing  the required funds ($’s), without your knowledge.  (Fact).


After I directly “phoned” Check Point Software Technologies, (Zone Alarm),


I was able to receive my full PayPal refund.


 


-BUT-


 


PayPal has still withdrawn $55.00 from my private “home” bank account.


 


I no longer want these extra required funds ($’s) transferred  from my private “home” bank account, to my PayPal (private) account.


I will be required to pay $17.00 for this electronic bank withdrawal. (Stop Payment). 


 


====================================


 


PayPal Payment:


I paid the above software company, a one (x1) time payment, (only), using PayPal.


This was only a one time PayPal payment.


“NO” private information, was  required or sent.


The required funds ($”s), were only sent to this software company.


 


====================================


 


Big Questions & Warnings:  (Unauthorized  PayPal - Withdraw  $’s)


 


#1) How was Check Point Software Technologies, able to withdraw funds,


directly from my PayPal account, without my prior approval ?  (Theft).


 


#2) How was PayPal able to withdraw funds ($’s),


directly from my private “home” bank account, prior to my approval ?  (Theft).


 


=====================================


 


Conclusion:  (Fact)


 


#1) Previous purchases, using PayPal, can/ could be used again, as automatic software updates, (Example), without your prior approval. (I have the FACTS, on my PayPal account).


 


#2) PayPal will withdraw funds ($’s) from your bank account, without your permission.


(I have the FACTS, on my “home” bank account).


 


#3) PayPal has now become very vulnerable, for hackers to steal money ($’s),


directly from your bank account, (Bank Account), using PayPal.


 


#4) If a software company can withdraw funds ($’s) from my private bank account, (Bank),


just imagine how easy it is for a computer hacker, to withdraw funds ($’s),


without my approval, directly from your bank account ?


 


=====================================


 


Big Questions:  (For You All, Know It All’s)


 


None of the transactions were approved by me. (Fact).


 


#1)  How did this software company, withdraw funds ($’s) from MY PayPal account,


        without my prior approval ?


#2)  How did PayPal withdraw funds ($’s), from MY “home” bank account,


        without my prior approval ?


#3)  Ebay owns PayPal and all eBay / PayPal transactions  ($’s) are controlled


        financially internally, but does not control outside of eBay / PayPal  ($’s)


        transactions, with any prior approval (Fact).


 


=====================================


 


I will  no longer use PayPal, for any other transactions, outside of eBay (Fact).

When you purchase the software it would have been indicated , possibly in very small print, that this was a recurring payment
