Regardless legit or not, always a very good thing to change passwords randomly, using 16 to 32 characters on any site you receive or send money. My PayPal pass is 23 letters, numbers, characters and the bit strength is over 100. I change it randomly, not like once every 2 months or so but at various times. So you did the right thing changing it anyway.

It's odd they wrote, but well....it's PayPal (who expects us to abide by their rules but don't think they need to do so). ROFL

I think I ticked them off one time, I earned a bit of decent money and decided to go shopping for ads and for fun stuff. I'd made a couple of store purchases and was buying ads at 3 sites. Just finished the 3rd one, and BOOM, they froze me out. Used the call me feature and read them the riot act, after listening to reasons that made no sense. Told them if I wanted to shop all day long on my account, who were they to tell me I couldn't. Put the account back to right immediately or I'd be calling my attorney general. Took them 5 minutes and a very long drawn out apology with all sorts of excuses, none of which made any sense and didn't pertain to their error in judgment.

Unfortunately, they get noobs in who aren't yet up to speed on the proper way to do business, and innocent members get hickied in one way or another. Did they ever say why they mailed you in detail? Was someone at another location trying to access your account and they shut it until you could respond? If so, why would they snail mail you instead of use the contact phone number? Just trying to understand their mindset. LOL

Your right its your PP acct.. I think they get bored over at the PP office and just do crap!..LOL

No they said I didn't even need to call (as the letter stated that as well)..
They said my account was fine. It was a generated letter(computer generated I am sure).
Someone just tried to sign up with my same exact e-mail addy and no one has it except for my online accounts.
So makes me wonder which online account tried to use it.
I don't KEEP money in there. Don't get paid BIG money in there.
They of coarse didn't give me any names ect... But I didn't figure they would..LOL
As stated of coarse I changed my pass...........
Hope I don't 4get it myself!
I never asked why they didn't 'call'. But good I can only guess they didn't cuz they said it was a generated letter. Been with PP over 15 yrs and this was the 1st!!

Yeah, I've been with them for 16 years now. That incident was the first, too. Hm maybe they just like to stir up the clean accounts from time to time. ROFL (just kidding)

Just thinking out loud (due to some weird experiences online) have you signed up for a traffic exchange site, a bux site, or a PTC site (like with Aurora Scripts, etc)? I know there are some very ummm not so honest site owners who actually would do something like use another person's email addy. Or if you've used it to send a donation to someone. Things like that. Downline builders sometimes have been caught doing that, too.

I think most of us old timers have learned not to keep much cash at any given time in PP, it's just too risky now.

BTW try RoboForm. I got it long ago when a 2 license deal was only $10 and actually wound up paying more down the road. It's so good and a password lifesaver. I would never remember the tons of passwords I have now. LOL And it's not a good idea to actually type in logins, considering keyloggers (can happen even to the most zipped compies). So there's several reasons to use it (or another just as legit).

I never did a traffic exchange and I am sorry I will not join a bux site...I know a lot have had some luck with a few!
ptc sites, yeah I am still with a few..LOL
Nope.....no donations and never wanted to use a downline builder..

Your right some of us old timers with pp "DON'T" leave cash in there and I never get cash with a BIG payment (like from )

Oh I am old fashion I guess............ I have a book right beside my computer with passes in it.... That way I am the only one that has my book and can look in my book....LOL unless I get robbed... but then again if I get robbed and someone can figure out my chicken scratches.... than oh boy we have a winner!
