oh noes another fake paypal email!

if i go to harvey norman and buy norton interweb security am i safe from weblinks ??

o rly

you mean there are paypal emails that arent fake? WHAT THE F ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?

after what paypal did to somethingawful.com (like the site or hate it, its just so f***ed what happened) im never using it again.

those who dont know, SA.com raised around $25,000 US for the hurricane katrina victiums of new orleans. paypal, obviously not wanting that money to go to use, decided to lock the donation account and seize the money. they demanded reciepts of all transactions and whatnot for the account. the owner told them what the account was for and that it was impossible to give any records of donations. their response? they took all the cash and closed the account. a******s

^^ you forgot the bit about how they refunded all the money dude

they did? ok fair enough i never saw anything about that. still, ill never use it again
