PAY PAL -- SOFTWARE STEAL MONEY, LIES ABOUT IT.
PAY PAL -- SOFTWARE STEAL MONEY, LIES ABOUT IT.
By Brian Lynch
On 11-08-2004, Paypal made an un authorized withdrawal from my bank account. I had authorized a CREDIT CARD payment, but PAYPAL took money out of my bank account. They have provided no mechanism for retrieving that money!
The design of their site software is such that if PAYPAL takes money from your account, there is no way that a user who has had money stolen by PAYPAL (that's what you call the act of taking without authorization), as a result of the defects in PAYPAL's software, can get it back.
It is even more astonishing that PAYPAL can take money and then lie about it. PAYPAL claimed to have reversed the transaction, but to date, my bank has no record of any reversal at all.
So PayPal, in my vire, is not only stealing money out of people's bank accounts, but they are compounding their culpability through fraud, by lying about reversing their errors!
RECOMMENDATION: DO NOT EVER USE PAYPAL if you don't want them to steal money from you, and then lie about it.
