It is also my opinion that whenever you reach your payout limit just request for the money to the forum Admin and whenever your balance just crossed the 30 to 40$ in your paypal account, just transfer it to your bank.

I too got the information that paypal can be easily hacked if someone knows our paypal address, because after all they just need to find out your password, there is no such thing called "login pin" or "master pin". Once the hacker is able to find out your password, that's the end of your money.

yes. seems several PTP forums asked us to post our paypal account or other processor's account to request the payment. really it's not security for our account at all.

But we can still protect our account if we use a hard password to guess or findout. Usually I use 14 digits password for my payment processors account and all are different from each other. I don't like to enter pin or others for login after entering password.

hello . since our paypal account can be scammed and even paypal will block our account so it's not so safe . also think if we always follow paypals TOS so our account will be safe ofcourse.

You've got your money back so it means paypal is reliable. I've made a mistake as well and used a universal password and the admin from a ptc site hacked my account. Paypal got suspicious and notified me immediately. I've got my money back as well.

Hacking PP is bit risky no one can withdraw money if he sucuss to transfer funds to another account PP can recover all money if some one do it that's why we can't see that much Phishing email for PP. anyway good to hear you got all your money back.

and next time take precoision and don;t use same password for each and every site one hacker also got my password and username from PTC site database and use those password for scamming other peoples.

Thanks moneymoney for the concern. I've learned my lesson well and changes almost all of my passwords.

What i think in this thing paypal can't do anything if some body succeeds with the password but it is good that paypal supports in returning the money ,this is the important thing.

Well they can do lot's of thing if some one got our PP account information from Phishing email not only return our money but they can also freeze that guy PP account and return all funds to respected peoples have been scammed by him.

One more thing why people say it's unsecure is that paypal limits our account for no reason and whatever funds you have in your PP will stuck there. I mean suppose you have $500 in your pp account when they limited, that $500 will become useless for next 6 months.

Well Paypal have own rules and regulation they decide what to do if some thing goes wrong or get doubt we can't do anything as per rule they can only limit funds that is effected and other money we can use but recently they are blocking all money.

Well if anyone still got our password PP put limitation if they found change in IP address and some one trying to transfer amount to his Account and if we report it to PP they will block that account and will return that amount to real owner.

Well I know and I have seen such sites which are anti-paypal. But those sites are just made with a intention of incurring losses to Paypal. There is no other processor which can match the standards of Paypal when it comes to security. Paypal is verisign secured plus it uses a 256-bit encryption which is the strongest. I doubt if anyone uses so much security other than paypal.

well, i have never been cheated by paypal anytime. so i would definitely disaggree. it might have happened to few of you but i never faced any issues.
