The post that was quoted here has been removedIt's not that exciting. Someone tried to hack my account, so they limited access to it; this is fine. Then they told me I need to give credit card information in order to reinstate my account. Of course, the whole reason I use PayPal is because I think credit cards are horrible and nasty and I'd never dream of having one. I've sent customer service several queries about this and, amazingly, received the same reply, unrelated to my question each time. I've had to email my query to every PayPal (and many eBay, since they own PayPal) executive whose address I can find.
1-4 all involved people being willfully unreasonable, needlessly aggressive or like overly loud.
The post that was quoted here has been removedIt's the awareness that this is Customer Service 101 is why it's so high on the anger list. If I thought it was a special freak incident then it would be on the Mildly Irritated Curiosity list.
I don't have a problem with credit cards being used the way you say, but their very existence I think contributes to the kind of mass average mindset that makes me pissed off, depressed and wanting to indulge certain "Project Mayhem"esque fantasies.
Originally posted by ChronicLeakyHmmm... Sounds very much like a scam to me. I have got those e-mails that are allegedly from Paypal at least twice. They are probably fishing for credit card information. It doesn't make sense that you would need to give credit card information to be able to use your Paypal account.
