So has anyone else noticed the new PayPal "option" to give them your ID and PW of your online bank account and they will be happy to verify your account instantly? Really??? Can any company really be that bold as to ask for people's online bank account information? That's just totally wrong!

Oh wait, that's right, they promise not to remember your information.... O...M...G!

In order for me to reply to your inquiry Jo Ann, please provide me with the last 4 of your SSN and a major credit card. Upon validation of your account, I will happily respond to your message.

Note: All information will be saved so that I can buy myself a new Macbook Pro.

lol trust me, that's not something you would ever find this semi-paranoid person giving out to anyone that isn't "supposed" to have it lol. I couldn't believe they had the gall to ask for that, and not on the phone either, it's right in their business paypal setup for when you add a new credit card or bank account to your PayPal account.

I only use Paypal with a Credit Card with a low limit...
I knew about the Bank Account option, but I don't consider it safe.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
