Have you received money from a complete stranger ?

Hello Topffer, I have never received money from a stranger. Unless I consider the tips that I got from a friend to join some instant paying bux sites. (by the way, I got my 8 cents from raise.. today ) If I received 0.12 PHP I would let the 30 days expire. It doesn't worth opening a Paypal line in PHP for this amount. But if I received one million PHP, I wouldn't know what to do. It is not a big amount, but neither one to be rejected either. Here I earn 16000 euros in a couple of years, so I am not sure I would ignore it. But I wouldn't spend it until the 30 days for filing a dispute expired. What would you do with one million PHP? As for your question - 'How to get a 1/5th of an EuroCent ?' you could change it in RON and you would have almost 1 ban to spend. If you ask me what could you buy with it, I would answer 'nothing'!

Hi Topffer Sad no stranger sends me money ever. But I would be happy to forward you my PayPal address so you can take it off your hands. I like you would be suspicious too but if nothing else is requested and or come out of it, I guess I would leave it as a mystery. Are you sure you did not sign up to something during some of your experiments?

No but I did once receive money as a joke from a myLot friend...

Well, I never receive money from a stranger. If what you have mean was into my Paypal. Just take it or leave it. That not worth to be live with, that my motto. Why bothering that? I believe, they have a mean by send you that money.

Yes I have but not in paypal or the internet world but in real life. I was taking the bus somewhere (i don't really remember). There was this old man sitting close to me. He then came to where I was sitting and we had this nice talk. He was a really good man and I referred to him as grandpa. We talked for a while and then he had to get down. Before he left he gave me $10. I politely refused it but he insisted I take it. So I did. I don't know why he gave it to me though!!

i received a substantial amount from a stranger once and i did not even have to use my baseball bat........ in a more honest response i have to say i have never received money of any kind from a stranger....but i shall never give up hope!

Personally I live in the USA, and have never had to deal with $$ from another country coming into my Paypal account. I actually never give out my paypal account hardly anymore to anyone as well. I think for the most part it is now used only for here. I think if I were you, I would reject it and let the person get it back as that is not really worth your time.

I have received money from other reward sites and don't know the person so is a stranger. Also received money from Mylot, so the answer is yes. Its always been money I can spend and it sounds like you can't spend the money sent to you when this occurred.

Hi,i have never received any money from a complete stranger. But i have received lots of notifies of informations about i have wined some prizes. Sometimes it is about my email was picked to some get some prize freely. Sometimes is the number of my QQ( which is a chat tool in china) win a laptop. Well, it is a big prize. But i have never taken it seriously. Because i know there is no free lunch in this world. Actually, there are so many stories about such things. When you believe it, then they will ask you do as they ask and little by little, you will find this is just a trap. But even so many TV programs have thought people not believe such incredible good things, but there are still some people who fall into their pits once and again. Maybe it is the nature of human that we all expect some thing unbelievable can happen on us one day.

Hi. topffer. No. I have never received money from a complete stranger before. If I did, I would contact Paypal about this. I would not accept the money at all. If you are unsure of why you have this money then, that means that you have not requested it. You should ignore this request. I also think that you should consult with Paypal about this too. They would know what to do in your situation that you are facing.

no, I never had any luck receiving money from a complete stranger. LOL. 12 cents? I am a filipina and you can't buy a thing with that. So, I think that you should just ignore it. It's not your to begin with or maybe its from a friend that wants to prank you. or maybe its a fraud. My paypal account is in dollars and most of my friends too. we don't have a peso account in paypal because usually we are paid in dollars by the employers and not in pesos :)

Well, if it is more a bother than a blessing than I would just ignore or reject it. Just say thanks to the sender and sorry I couldn't accept it... I got tips in my old days, were that considered receiving money for complete strangers?

Hi Never lucky so far for my paypal account. But just two days back i got 20 minutes recharge on my mobile. Well I can't do anything about it till the recharger call me for asking his/her money. About receiving money on paypal account.. I haven't more experience about DISPUTE like you have mentioned.. So i may not take risk.

hi topffer, If i were you, I would just reject this payment. simply because I don't know who sent that payment and what it was for. we know nowadays people are being smarter on internet, which result in many types of online identity theft. furthermore, it was only a very small amount of money. it won't hurt you to reject it. Happy safe getting paid:)

hi topffer I would bet its a scam and will get you into trouble if you try to claim it as its someone who gets lists of names it could also end up as a virus too, I would just let it go back to the sender as they had no right to be in your private paypal account,The fact that they hacked your paypal account is scary for sure . I have never received money from a stranger and wou ld be worried if I did.

You are so lucky as others in order to send you such amount if it is sent to the large amount of money you probably will encounter bad luck and know. Because you can be accused of stealing money if you live in places that my sins are not serious but it will cause you a feeling of discomfort do not know why but arrested by police. Natural deposit into my account that I never intentionally or not get that out while they can not use it again arrested as unjust. But the truth is I do not want to stick him into trouble and because of the confusion is that while their network or to register for the confusion created it. For example where I live there is a case like this: - On 1 / 4, Hanoi Police has prosecuted the accused, detained Nguyen Thi Thuy (52 years old, resident in Bac Giang city) on the illegal acts of property seized by the bank transfer mistake. According to investigation documents, in September 2009, her daughter Marine to open accounts at a securities company in Hai Ba Trung district for the transaction. She was authorized transaction for an employee in this company. Although the account named her daughter, but she Shui is used. At the end of 2009, accounting for securities companies have moved the wrong 6 billion to account for her Marine. By March 2010, the company discovered the incident and suspended blocked transactions with this account. Numerous proposals Thuy not repay, the companies have alleged acts with the investigating agencies. Initially, the accused Marine has admitted acts. But the woman denied responsibility for paying for the reason the securities companies have to withdraw, she is not obliged to return. next example: Pham S. (Hoa Dien - Dien Ban - Quang Nam) said: He retired from 1-8-2010. Date of 28-7, receiving reports have money, he is seen receiving the column ATM account balance is close to 1.3 billion. He withdrew 20 million in column ATM northern town of Vinh Dien (Dien Ban), then to Da Nang branch Agribank draw 500 million more. Doc settlement amount more work, Mr. S. and the family did not think it becomes problematic. Yesterday afternoon, 2-8, Mr. S. third out of Da Nang to the summons by the police in Da Nang to explaining the work. Mr. S. after that, the day 29-7, with three people claiming to be employees Agribank Da Nang branch to his house, mistakenly announced that it has moved into his account more than 1 billion, suggested he return. "They came but did not bring the papers, besides I have missed the target and then say, nothing to borrow to pay back later" - Mr. S. said. Even 30-7 am, police summoned him to the commune. Seeing the situation was wrong, Mr. S. This run was 400 million loan payable to the Bank in Da Nang Police in 1-8 days. However, his presentation of S, to the afternoon on 30-7, a written notice of the transfer of the wrong bank account to house his new Agribank S. Agribank text of Da Nang 29-7 confirmation number 298/NHN-DB-KTNQ day moving mistaken in his account with an amount more than 1.277 billion, while enjoying his money S. just over 105 million. "I do not what kind of money pit ham is not yours. But the French side of my house also occasionally send money, outside of Hue also. So let me have time check, but" - Mr. S said. And another example nè: Securities companies have moved 6 billion mistake in a customer's account, but does not claim to be. Day 1 / 4, Security Agency, the police investigation and prosecution of Hanoi arrest Nguyen Thi Thuy (52 years old in Bac Giang) to act illegally occupied property. According to investigation documents, in September 2009, her daughter named Marine to open accounts at a securities company but the transaction used to be a mother again. Late in 2009, accounting for securities companies have moved 6 billion into the wrong account. Several months later, this mistake was discovered. Securities companies proposed to pay back the money she Shui, but not accepted. In the investigation agency, she admitted Marine confusion on. But the woman denied responsibility for paying for the reason the securities companies have to withdraw, she is not obliged to return. Also nè: Advantage of the long known, raising capital from Hong Em nearly a dozen people with big money by paying high interest for many years and then ran away because of inability to pay. 28/12 pm, police agencies police investigation in Tien Giang province had prosecuted, detained Nguyen Thi Hong Em (33, Cai Lay district) behavior "fraudulent appropriation of property." Through the initial investigation, from 2006 to now I just do the hui just raising capital from nearly a dozen people familiar with the total amount of about 5 billion. The reason I raise is given as a hub for bank loans due to customers peace of mind I send the money with interest rates to 6% per month. First time that I should eat out, investing in real estate around the world and who should pay good interest for the hostess of this hui is very safe loan. However, a few months now suddenly I'm off the phone frequently, delayed payment of interest and many people avoided him. Receipt of the denunciation of some people, the police entered the investigation and arrest were you when she is hiding debt. File following: Swiss world-famous capital of the modern banking system and high security, however, sometimes other bank services are still in unexpected errors. Vietnam News Agency correspondent in Geneva says the last few days, some customers of Swiss banks Post (PostFinance) did not believe his eyes when their account has suddenly billions of dollars. But their joy did not last long. Date 24 / 3, PostFinance spokesman said the technical fault, the bank's cash machines displaying the information was not true to the real value of customer accounts.
