  Had to treat myself to a small jar of Nutella due to stress now down to $1 and change. If anyone wants to help me get a days worth of groceries you have my tags for PayPal and C@sh App. Food stamps hit on the first.

  @iriolsw7 It's okayy, they DM-ed me too and it's legit. The admin at that time gave me a different paypal account-one that didn't belong to the ex head admin, so I think the other admin already took action sometime ago to minimize the issue

  @JonesyShwemes @bekamaciorowski @RebekahMac8a93 I cant fault you Jeff. The only reason I do is so I can get the payment details and report to Paypal etc , its very rare that we close down a paypal account but it has happened.

  Having had issues with Musk's former money platform (PayPal), I wouldn't touch XMoney with a barge-poll. Imagine having your funds frozen for months because AI thinks your post was "hateful" or falsely identified an image as CSAM.

  We are apparently dealing with the unluckiest person on the planet, aren’t we, @DmytroKotrjhd, previously @Dmitro622248? Over the past year alone, according to his own claims: - He has barely left hospitals because of severe health problems. - He allegedly suffered two strokes in March and May 2026. - Nearly every fundraiser coincided with reports of multiple KIA and WIA in his units. - His daughter supposedly needed a $25,000 eye surgery last December. - The moment I asked for proof of payment, his X account was allegedly hacked. - Four days later, his Facebook and Instagram accounts disappeared. - When donors started requesting PayPal refunds via Paypal, his PayPal account also allegedly became unavailable-along with roughly $23,000 from the latest fundraiser. I could honestly keep going. #Fellas, if you have a spare minute, light a candle and say a prayer for this man. His run of extraordinary bad luck is apparently beyond anything we've ever seen. Perhaps then he'll finally be able to refund every single penny he has collected since opening his account.

  MORE THAN most people are comfortable admitting. And the 2FA point is where it gets genuinely alarming. Most people use their email as the recovery method for every other account they own. That single design decision turns email access into a master key. The attack sequence takes minutes. Email access means password reset on every account that sends recovery links to that address. Your bank. Your PayPal. Your Amazon with saved payment methods. Your Apple ID or Google account which controls your phone backup, your photos, your contacts, and every app you have ever downloaded. Your social media. Your cloud storage. Your work accounts if you ever linked them. The 2FA bypass is where people feel falsely safe. Most 2FA implementations send codes to your phone number or email. If the attacker controls your email they intercept email based 2FA codes directly. For SMS based 2FA they request a password reset, which sends a link to your email, which they already control. Phone based 2FA often has an account recovery option that routes back to email when you cannot access your phone. Your email is not one factor in a chain. It is the root of the entire tree. The accounts with the most damage potential reset through email without ever touching your phone. Crypto exchange accounts. Investment platforms. Domain registrars if you own a business. Hosting providers. The average person has their email connected to somewhere between 100 and 500 accounts accumulated over years of internet use. Most of those accounts were created, briefly used, and forgotten. They still exist. They still have saved payment methods, personal information, and access to things you stopped thinking about years ago. One password. One inbox. Everything else follows. The fix is treating your email account as the most critical credential you own rather than the least. Unique strong password generated by a password manager. Hardware security key as the second factor specifically for email, not SMS, not push notification. A separate recovery email that no one knows exists and that you never use for anything else. Your email is not a communication tool. It is the administrative console for your entire digital life.

  South Carolina, Angela T. Kohl, the 55-year-old Georgetown woman who served as the trusted executive director, sole paid staffer, and bookkeeper of Kids’ Chance of South Carolina, is accused of systematically looting more than $118,000 from a charity whose entire purpose is putting kids through college or trade school after their parents were killed or permanently disabled on the job. Investigators say that over an 18-month stretch she made dozens of transfers from the nonprofit’s accounts straight into her personal PayPal while working from home. When the board finally noticed the missing money and confronted her, she claimed she knew nothing about it. A few weeks later she resigned, citing vague “health reasons.” Georgetown County Sheriff Carter Weaver’s office then audited the books, found the trail of transfers, and arrested her Friday on charges of breach of trust with fraudulent intent (over $10,000) and first-degree computer crime. This is not some abstract accounting dispute. Kids’ Chance of South Carolina exists to help children who already lost a parent to a workplace tragedy. Donors, lawyers, insurance carriers, employers, ordinary people, gave money specifically so those kids could go to school. Kohl, the person they trusted to manage those funds, is alleged to have treated the account like her personal ATM. If the allegations hold, this is one of the colder betrayals imaginable, pocketing scholarship money meant for orphans and half-orphans of dead and broken workers, then feigning ignorance and walking away citing “health.” There is no softer way to say it.

  Ant's AI Lab (@AntsAILab) reported 26 minutes ago

  @carlocapocasa @Kimi_Moonshot My issue with them was the way they do business. Look at the difference in how they handled their model rollout versus Kimi. Kimi stopped taking subscriptions so they could service their existing customers first and foremost. Meanwhile, Z AI jacked up prices on all their coding plans and kept taking in more subs while they had an active caching issue on the backend that was causing exorbitant usage well beyond what it should have been. At one point on their "20X" plan, I was getting less usage than I would have on Codex's "5X" plan. People were in chat every day talking about the issue, and the response from staff was insane—they'd acknowledge the issue one hour, then a completely different person would come in and say no refunds were being issued, all while Z AI staff were in the same chat promising refunds. I've never seen such disorganization in my life. I will never give that company another dollar. I ultimately disputed through PayPal and won when Z didn't even bother to respond.

  Like these AI can do whatever you can do with a computer, so if you can go buy server space it can too if it has a way to pay for it, many ways to pay can be accessed online (Crypto, etc). If the AI is already attacking outside websites why wouldn’t it steal a paypal acccount?

  CryptoD₿S (@DbsCrypto) reported 51 minutes ago

  Your donations can be sitting in your account and still not be your money. The moment a creator needs a payment platform to approve their identity, business status, or withdrawal before they can touch what supporters already sent, the problem is bigger than PayPal. That’s custody risk. Creators are taught to obsess over discovery and conversion. But payout rails can choke the business just as fast. You can earn the money. The platform can still hold the keys. I keep coming back to the same point: if you need permission to access your own revenue, you don’t own the business. Owned audience matters. Owned distribution matters. But owned payout rails are part of the same fight. Otherwise “getting paid” is just another feature someone else can turn off.

  @bendodge well that too, but the problem is they're a chinese company and i'm in nigeria. we tried exploring every payment method and it either didn't work for them or it didn't for me - the easiest option would've been crypto but it's banned in china - i have a leads account but it didn't work because they can only do SWIFT and mine only supports ACH and wire routing - literally every option didnt work and then we had to fall back to paypal (paypal itself has some restrictions in my region so i had to use a relative's account in the US) even when we got to the paypal, they said they cant make payment directly using paypal email etc and i had to create an invoice for the payment (that's how their company works) + they agreed to cover every fees from the onset

  Initiated the withdraw request. BuyMeACoffee takes huge cut from this money. Platform fee: 5% Payment processing fees: typically around 2.9% + 0.30% per transaction. Fix transaction fee: $2 ( sum of fees per tips / donation received ) So, in my case $15 - $3.19 = $11.81 that's what I will get. PayPal charges little less that Buy Me a Coffee. So PayPal is best.

  I am tired of modern life for another reason. Every product needs a PhD just to be able to use it. It is impossible to turn on the TV at a friend's place. On a Tesla, you don't know how to open the glove compartment or turn on the wipers, or blow the air in your face. Netflix keeps telling me that this device - my TV- is not authorized. I have to go through hoops to get it reinstalled. One time I had to call customer support. Fortunately Netflix still has real human beings who are helpful. There is no way to reach a real person on X. I have wasted several thousand dollars to boost my posts but it just ate my money. The XAI that monitors my posts found something wrong with my post, I don't know what. When I sent a DM to Ad services, it never responds. I have sent the complain a dozen times. The XAI reads not only the posts but also the DMs. When XAI doesn't understand a post, it simply ignores it. There is no way on X to reach a real human being. If XAI is cheating me, it is the cost of living with modern AI technology. The ring in my wife's phone becomes almost inaudible. She sets it up to full volume but it keeps coming back to lowest volume. So, she asked me to find out the problem. I haven't been able to solve the problem. I tried to de-install an App, and it would keep on reinstalling it. On PayPal, I cannot turn off notifications of parcels from USPS. In an Airbnb I could not turn on the A/C. It had so many things in the menu. It would keep going back and forth in the menu but not show me the temperature controls. Even powering on and off did not work. In another Airbnb in New Zealand, I could not use the oven because I could not set the temperature. It kept turning off. In a hotel I could not set the time on the alarm clock. The list is limitless. And I am not a computer illeraterate person. You might think I am a dumb person. I am the inventor of Ethernet switch which is widely used in AI data centers, My company I founded turned an investment of $25 million into $10 billion. I have a dozen patents. If I am having so much problem with modern technology, I can imagine how much problem others might be facing.

  @Enurfase Paypal is probably 4 steps from clicking the donation to sending the money, I don't think it's that difficult. Has to be a user error or something
