I started a discussion about withdrawing my PayPal money when I person offered his "so called" help. This is what he told me through PM: "The amount was so small pre.. What I'm planning is I gonna withdraw your funds using my account coz I'm a verified paypal member and my bank account was linked there, then I can give it to you personally or I can deposit it on your bank account or any account holder that you knew (preferably BPI).." What can you guys say to a person (pao xav) who tell you this?

Rightful? No, it's what you wanna hear. You cannot demand a reply that you want. You're not the boss. And why would I respond politely and courteously to a fraud? Look at responder #2 you got called a joker, responder #12 is the worst, responder #30 you got called stupid.

If that's your response to that message he'll get mad at you. The person is too sensitive. Only likes what he wants to hear. Yeah, why would someone, who is a total stranger to me, would offer his time, effort, money to withdraw my money? Like what I said he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

Oh, sorry it was wrong. It wasn't Nobel Peace Prize. It was Oscars rather.lol

Pre is for Pare? don't trust him, although you have a small amount are there any small amount for hard earned online money?. Hirap kaya kumita. Don't entertain him, whats the problem anyway, sorry I did not know your previous discussion eh. Basta don't do that ha.

Hey there! Yeah, there is no small amount for a hard earned money. Is $30 a very small amount for you? Because to me it's not. But for him it is. Like what I've said maybe I was talking to Bill Gates.lol

Hello AltheGreat2430, When myLot stopped paying using moneybookers, I had problem to withdraw the small amount of money in it. I started a discussion about it and a myLot member (who is a very good member to me here) suggested to transfer some amount from her account so that I can withdraw my money. We PMed each other to get our email address and a day after, she transferred the amount to my moneybookers account. As I just started to use Paypal (only for myLot purpose) it took me almost three months to get my payment and I paid her trough her Paypal account. You need to be sure that person is a reliable person - someone that you really know from here or else, it is hard sometimes to trust people especially online.

That's good to hear. Yeah, be sure that the person is a reliable person. But, the person who PM me is a total stranger to me and he instantly told me to transfer my PayPal funds to his.

I would say, thanks partner but no thanks! If anybody tell me that they will transfer my money into their account and will do such and so with it. First of all I would make sure that the person was a very close friend or family member. But after that I would tell them if I needed their help I would ask for it. They just trying to scam you friend. Don't buy it. Happy Mylotting!

That's a good decision. I too would make sure that I know the person personally before I transfer to him/her my money. Yes, exactly city chic. I didn't buy it but instead he insulted me. haha.

No way…is he stupid? He need to do everything through paypal/ebay because that way if anything shady happens you can file a claim or dispute. How does it help to just deposit through your account just because the amount is so small? If he is not trying to be shady then he is dumb. You need to tell him no and that just suggesting this is against ebay policy and you could have him reported for that and not paying if he doesn’t pay through paypal soon.

My answer; "Thank you for the kind offer but i would rather withdraw it straight to my own account, that is the shortest route for the money to travel." Why all the effort of moving the money to a lot af places, even risking losing it in the procces. Get your money in your own hands as soon as you want it, don't make diverts. You have worked hard for that money, even if it is not a lot, it is yours and you should not take a risk in losing it. Happy spending, Blessings

I would request he pay me first (either by check or cash personally) and then I decide if I will transfer the funds to his account. Whichever the case, I need to see my money first. lol.

Hold your horses guys. I'm not asking his paypal login information. What I'm trying to say is for him to send his money to my paypal e-mail address, withdraw it and will give it to him personally or will deposit into a savings account that he had or knew. What's the problem with that? If i'll gonna rip him off, he can file a refund at paypal and paypal will freeze my account and will have his funds back. It is one of the paypal features.. Paypal is not Western Union I have clean intentions in helping since he's just few kilometers away from my place. If he was abroad or in different region, I will not offer my help.. Hope this will clear out my case..

Well it is still clean for now. I think this is not yet subjectable for deletion coz there are no flames yet. I do flame him in private messaging coz he cursed me first. But I'm trying to control my temper now. I've been into forums for years and I know that internet wars ain't good at all..

Researches have proven that people online are different from whom they really are. Because it’s only online that you meet these people you can’t see their reactions. They can say a lot of good things, which is the common thing that anyone online does, about their selves but is it really true? Yeah, you can say that that statement is wrong but facts don’t lie. You’re a good person…. That’s a possibility. But facts speaks louder. Facts doesn’t give room for possibilities. Even if you’re a neighbor as long as I don’t know you personally I won’t entrust my money to you.

I've noticed althegreat isn't even responding.. xD @paoxav my only question is "The amount was so small pre.. " you could withdraw any amount on paypal right? x.x I know the intentions are clean but of course it's still hard to put trust on someone whom you've never really met before.

Hey there! Sorry for the very late response. I was away for two weeks. I was on vacation. The minimum amount you can withdraw with paypal is $10. The amount that I wanna withdraw is $30. Is that too small for you? If you ask me it's not.

I don't care whether he's a verified member or not, I will definitely say no. If I transfer my money to his account, it is like I am giving him the money. So, when he keep the money to himself, I can't draw charges against him because I give him the money willingly. No legal action can help me then. So, I'll definitely say 'bye pao!'

do you know how paypal works? that you can ask for refund if you're a victim of scam and fraud? that won't happen coz if i'll rip him off and take his money, he can simply file a refund at paypal and my account will get frozen, plus he can take his money back.. again, Paypal is not Western Union..

I know how Paypal work, still, it's not going to change anything. Maybe you mean well, but it's wrong to offer something like that here. Especially you only meet him online and the real world isn't so nice.

I would tell him, I was born in the morning just not this morning. Make sure you notify the people who are in charge of MyLot. He sounds like a crook. How did he get your information? He sounds like one of those emails you get that say you have inherited millions of dollars. Just send me you bank account number and I will put it in your account. Be very very careful of this person. Again, notify MyLot about this.

How do I notify them? There's no report button with the messages. He didn't get any information about my PayPal account. I started a discussion about withdrawing my PayPal money to which he replied to me to PM him. Yeah, exactly. He sounds like that.

Hi there, no, never allow anyone to get your pay pal amount. The key that is in your hand is the password to the pay pal account. If that is known to me I would surely try to siphon the amount anytime giving my Bank account number. Even by mistake do not pass it to another soul.

i misread "amount" to "account".. i'm sorry about that.. if ebay members transact overseas, how much more if you will gonna transact to a person which is only kilometers away from you? and i guess by simply saying "NO thanks" would be fine instead of creating thread like this..

Althegreat, your money is " Your Money". Do not let anyone else handle that for you unless that person is a trusted family member or friend. Even then be cautious. Money does funny things to people and I would no trust very many people with my funds. So beware.
• Philippines
25 May 09
Yeah, I agree with you. I will never let someone handle my money specially if I don't really know who the person is.

I would say no ( unless you know this user in person and can trust them) It is not safe to ever give out your banking information. Also meeting anyone in person from online is scary too just because you never know what kind of person they are. You are better off to be safe. I highly recommend you just follow the information that spoiledbrat gave you on your topic it is very good and detailed information. It takes time to get everything set up but once you have it done everything will be much faster after that.
