PayPal

PayPal’s really been getting on my nerves.

About a month ago, they froze my account, citing protecting my security. They said someone had attempted to access my account, they said. I performed the first two verification steps, but now I’m waiting on mail at home with a “security code” I have to enter to confirm it. Of course, it’s been almost two weeks with no mail from them.

So, through the PayPal site, I sent them a message asking what was up. I should clarify that I’m absolutely positive it was the “real” PayPal site. The certificate matches, and I initiated the access, so it’s not like I’m getting e-mail asking me to click a link (to paypal.com.this.is.a.scam.geocities.com)

It just bounced back to me, citing an unknown user on their end.

So I’m now approaching a month with no access to my account. I am not impressed, especially by their internal contact form bouncing back to me.
