Wow, I had no idea about this company (read -scam artist)untill recently. I have a similar experience in that I have had about 10-20 deposits, without withdrawing the funds. At the beginning of this month I received an e-mail saying that my account info was not sufficiant enough, and that I must remedy this immediately or lose ALL of my money. I panicked, went online to find out that my account had been hacked into !!! So now I needed to ADD MY CREDIT CARD INFO !! Yes that's right, they admitted my acount had been hacked into, so now I had to give them more important info to lose. They already have my money, and bank account info. So I add my credit card info with the intent of cancelling it the moment I get my money the heck out of there. They won't accept it !!!!! Frustrated I e-mailed them, and my credit card provider to get this resolved quickly. My credit card provider responded to my e-mail within hours, explaining that somehow my address was recorded wrong,and that it was immediately fixed. So back to the PayPal site to enter my credit card info again, now they have to call the house and ask if I'd like to have them call immediately, or in one minute to shut off my internet connection. I have dial-up, so I oppted for the minute. Next page I have to record a pin #, I scramble find a pen, write down the pin, log out, and shut my computer down as fast as I can. This ends up being too late they have received my voice mail, now I must wait for a letter in the mail with a new pin - this is said to take at least 7 business days. I really am amazed a company like this has customers, I know the second I get my money back they will be down 1, and if we can spread the word we can save countless other victims too !! I suppose it would be helpful to add that two days later I have still not recieved a response to my e-mail.
