  @RaheemKassam Got any more fine ideas for making Farage seem man of the people, rather than Man of the PayPal? Maybe get a whippet or two. Ferret down the trousers, etc?

  @RunyaChanVT you tried to solve the issue privatly i think the next step, since you can't revoke it via Paypal, is to go public you could try again and say when thy won't answer you in x days you go public to give them one last chance to solve it without going public, but they dont deserve it

  I really wish I could help Kei chan and other fellow artists get better equipment or at least help put some food on their tables. The problem is, I don't have credit card and my PayPal got freaking banned. I wonder if I could use other alternative?

  You fundamentally are misunderstanding what the issue is. You were given funds to a tournament and for whatever reason moved them from the secure paypal to a shared banking account with someone that is technologically illiterate. You were extremly negligent with those funds that’s why it’s an issue.

  @AskPayPal I’m getting the following message: “We’re having trouble making sure it’s you.” I tried contacting support by sending them a message. They replied, but to read their response, I need to log in to my account. Infinite loop. 👇🏻

  This is ALL OFFLINE when Jay first DMd me about it. July 6th! Was Sunday! I UPDATED him about what happened. I told people that I felt comfortable if the donations were in a safe place IN A BANK which is NORMAL FOR PPL TO HAVE!! As I don’t use PAYPAL doesn’t mean I DONT HAVE ONE?!?!? I USED IT because Jay asked me if I HAD one. How can you say you would wait for the refund which I’m trying to do, then not even wait to slander me while I’m trying to wait for the refund on business days?!!? MIND YOU SATURDAY AND SUNDAY FOR BANKS ARE NOT CONSIDERED BUSINESS DAYS!! You listened to what your community was saying and you succumbed to what they were saying in your ear. I said it got hacked because I THOUGHT that’s what happened I DID NOT KNOW THE FULL STORY BECAUSE I WASN’T THERE!!?!?? Yes my bf made a terrible judgement in opening his bank account and handing his phone to a stranger YES this is SO SO VERY STUPID TO DO!!! But he made a terrible terrible decision! You can call him names all you want but to act like this just “doesn’t happen to anyone” is so naive when you feel like you can see the good in people and trying to help some random person?!!!! You might say “oh I wouldn’t help a random person” but that’s just YOU! Thousands of ppl including myself would help someone in need?!! It just unfortunately backfired in our faces

  Years later, Peter Thiel watched the intelligence failures of 9/11. The CIA, FBI, and NSA had all the data to stop the attacks, but it was scattered across disconnected databases. Thiel realized the government had the exact same problem PayPal had.

  @Hasiradoo i’m confused- it doesn’t make a difference because paypal emails have to remain public for buyer transparency. anyone will get a notification for who they paid and a receipt to their email regardless. the phone number would be a huge issue, but they’ve since removed it and now it’s just username and display name.

  I don't think they use AI, a lot of their sketches look normal but I could be wrong. The main issue I see is their security. Anyone can see your full name, email, phone number, and PayPal email. Since I'm not a fan of my information being shared without my permission, I'll be taking my commissions off of CommissionsGG. I'll be remaining on VGen as always, but I don't trust the CommissionsGG website anymore. @commissions_gg , please be aware that your website has a huge security risk to your users!

  Attention those having problems with Restrictions & payouts & need solutions beyond Facebook's support team! 1. Did you know that you can contact the Consumer Federal Public Bureau and they will help you. If Meta claims they issued a payout to your bank, PayPal, or Stripe, but the funds are frozen, missing, or rejected, file a complaint against the payment company or bank via the CFPB Complaint Portal. If Meta is completely refusing to calculate, acknowledge, or clear your monetization earnings, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the correct federal regulator. The FTC monitors deceptive business practices, breach of digital merchant contracts, and unfair treatment of independent creators. Take Action: Submit a formal business fraud report at the official FTC Report Fraud Portal State Attorney General: File a report with your state's Attorney General Consumer Protection Division. State AGs have dedicated teams that routinely force tech companies to assign real humans to investigate local creator complaints. Better Business Bureau (BBB): File an official complaint on the BBB Meta Platforms Profile.

  Bill Gates daughter runs a shopping app that secretly took credit for sales it never made. Here's what happened: When you buy something online after clicking a link from a website or app, that website or app gets a small cut of the sale from the store, as a thank you for sending you there. It only gets that money if it actually sent you there. Phia is a shopping app made by Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and her co-founder Sophia Kianni. It tells you where to find the cheapest price and best discount codes. It has 1.2 million downloads in the last year and raised $43.5 million from investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures, and celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Khloe Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber. Bloomberg tested the app along with a researcher named Ben Edelman and a rival app called Capital One Shopping. They checked more than 50 shopping websites, including #Walmart, #Nike, and #Zara. Here is what they found. When someone was about to finish buying something, Phia's app secretly opened a hidden browser tab in the background, without the person clicking anything or asking for it. That hidden tab quietly told the store "this sale came from Phia," then closed itself within seconds. Most people never saw it happen. This means Phia could take the money back reward even if a person found the item completely on their own, or even if they clicked a link from a totally different website first. In one test, someone clicked a deal link from a Wirecutter article to buy something on Nordstrom. Phia's hidden tab quietly swapped in its own code and took the reward meant for Wirecutter instead. This trick is called cookie stuffing. It is against the rules of every major store and shopping network involved, including Walmart, eBay, and a platform called Impact(.)com. Impact(.)com has already suspended Phia's account and is now checking Phia's past sales to see how many were affected. Phia says this was a mistake in their code from December, and they fixed it within a day of being told about it. This is not Phia's first problem. Back in November, researchers found an older version of the app was secretly copying entire webpages a person visited, including bank statements and private emails, and sending that data to Phia's servers. The company said it was only trying to figure out which websites were shopping sites, and it has since changed the app to stop doing that. A similar accusation happened to PayPal's Honey app in 2024, and PayPal is still dealing with a lawsuit over it today. Phia is now facing the exact same kind of accusation, in just its first year.

  @_lliesl_ @sharrond62 Dad had dementia, so just in case, mum gave POA to sisters (totally trustable) so there were no problems like that, thankfully. There is no sensibility to these services, writing to a dead account holder, or the nice day comment. I had a similar problem with online shopping when a payment wouldn't go through. Clear the cache is the current 'have you tried switching it off and back on again?' I tried four different devices, using their app and three different browsers, with PayPal, credit and debit cards to no avail, but it wasn't their fault! I used to use a cab company as an old mate drove for them, but they went AI based in India. As a native English speaker, with a slight west country accent, I had two chances of being understood then you're cut off, after persevering three times, I now use other companies. When I used them, a Ghanaian driver, who spoke perfect English with an accent, said how bad it was for them. He obviously can't text anything, so using VoIP, using a second language with accents was nearly impossible for them! We are no longer customers who are respected and wanu, we're just a cumulative balance sheet, and they cut corners where they can.

  Yeah this IcyPryncess thing is weird. I just watched Jay3 video and listened to the memos. Why did you move the PayPal money to your bank account? That's where the whole issue begins. Forget the cash app non sense, the issue starts from PayPal

  Nyx || Vgen Com ✨OPEN✨ (@VakNsfw) reported 47 minutes ago

  @seiranaino I took an IT course and wasn't the great or best at it but this is usually normal to IT devs. From an IT perspective, this is actually one of the main reasons beta versions exist. A beta is an unfinished build released to a limited audience so developers can identify bugs, security issues, UI problems, and privacy concerns that aren't always discovered during internal testing. Sometimes certain backend data is temporarily exposed in the frontend because permission checks, role restrictions, or interface changes haven't been fully implemented yet. If users can currently see an email or PayPal email when they shouldn't, that's a valid issue and should absolutely be reported. But it's also the kind of thing developers expect beta testers to point out so it can be fixed before the official release. Finding a bug in a beta doesn't automatically mean the platform is poorly made or that the developers intend for it to stay that way. The important question is whether the developers acknowledge the issue and patch it promptly. So yes, it's a legitimate privacy concern—but it's also a normal part of the software development process. That's literally what beta testing is for finding problems before everyone starts using the final product. Of course regardless whether It's still on testing phase or not it's s valid criticism. What's not valid is bombarding a small group of devs with accusations and incorrect informations like what some people here on X did, Coding isn't easy and would toast your membrane if you can't understand a single computer language Give the devs a benefit of doubt because Vgen started small before as well, Plus the devs are very responsive when it comes to feedbacks I'll definitely wait for them to fix certain bugs before I start selling in their site so for now let them have their flow
