  @GretchenPSmith @PayPal I can't Imagine how or why here, and what happens to the funds? Can you at least retrieve them? I know, not the point but, screw them, if they can't fix the issue transfer to another platform. You have my prayers in this

  Drew Mia Winters as a mannequin laying on the basement table faceup. I also posted this as a product (a print) on my website, but the shop section isnt loading when I click on it as I write this. Maybe my site's shop section cant handle the load its getting?! Whatever, but thanks for looking. I think if people would eventually be interested in buying a few prints from me, I'd just ask them for their order and send them an invoice through paypal and do it that way. I don't understand why the websites I make keep getting problems. ughh

  @raxkadess Girls, don't trust him. He asks to pay through PayPal Goods and Services just to file for a refund later. Plus, he reports accounts. Save yourselves the trouble and don't sell to him #buyingcontent

  @gelleytoast I used PayPal for comms and didn't had any problem (besides the obligatory national tax even for clients tips) i waited 3 days for the money transference to another bank account

  Fun fact. Now that Stipe/Ko-Fi changed the way they check business information (in the EU). I am now stuck in a loop of: document shows my POBox, it does not accept POBox as a valid address, give private address, address doesn’t match document so is not approved... I already have a rich past of having problems with Ko-Fi and these payment systems, so I am kind of just done trying. Soon (in like 40 days) you will only be able to pay there with the PayPal options (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo etc.). If you would ever want to tip me and are unable to use these payment options; you can also use the donation tab on digivt. store or the spicy blue site 💙

  Why My Digital History Is Triggering Active Hacking Attempts on Anyone I Interact With (The Cost of Pirated Software) Since 2011, I had a habit of digital hoarding - collecting and testing cracked games and expensive enterprise software (AutoCAD, Autodesk, Ansys, Adobe) just to see them run. In college and later in my professional life, I freely distributed these terabytes of pirated software to friends and colleagues, completely unaware of the massive digital footprint and security liabilities I was creating. By signing into these cracked builds with my personal email, my credentials were leaked to respective servers and weaponized through data breaches, allowing bad actors to tie my email, unique username handles, phone number, and social media profiles together. The real-world consequences started falling like dominoes. In 2017, a friend’s startup was targeted with Google account hacks and an Autodesk audit after their residential IP address registered as a business entity using cracked software from me. When I joined the rocket startup AgniKul Cosmos in 2019, I distributed these software packages again. The fallout was severe: the entire team began receiving targeted, unknown messages on LinkedIn and WhatsApp phishing calls; our Wi-Fi became unusable unless restarted; and our founder's email was compromised to spam the team, forcing me to wipe and reinstall every office machine. I later found out the startup faced massive licensing fines after audit visits. Even after moving to a spacecraft design startup, the exact same disruptive patterns followed. The targeting escalated heavily during the 2020 lockdown. After noticing a suspicious Microsoft account login alert that perfectly correlated with an Argentinian "ethical hacker" visiting my Premium LinkedIn profile, I confronted him directly via InMail. That very night, a coordinated wave of login alerts hit my Reddit, PayPal, and other social media services. Because I use a consistent username across platforms like Twitter/X and LinkedIn, these actors have mapped my entire network. They’ve tracked my investor interactions, used malicious links in bio pages to harvest my home IP addresses (forcing me to rely on a VPN to restore normal speeds), and targeted my family members. Because of this relentless surveillance, I keep my current venture strictly in stealth mode and refuse to update my employer details on LinkedIn to shield my current team. This is a public apology and a massive heads-up. Recently, this targeting has shifted outward to anyone I publicly engage with. Whomever I interact with, reply to, or tag on Twitter/X is immediately seeing a surge in suspicious login alerts and hacking attempts on their own accounts. If you are interacting with me publicly, please enable robust 2FA, monitor your active login sessions, avoid clicking any random links, and stay highly vigilant. My past digital hoarding has turned into an active security vector, and I am sharing this so you can protect your data before they target you next.

  @Brownmoose Nope it can easily turn into PayPal or Adobe. If I had to buy anything that’s been beaten down it’ll be Microsoft.

  @COV_VP @codeofvets @stripe I did see this. After I raised the original issue. The new system is far better than PayPal. Just be aware that their system will try to add a company to your registration. They tried adding my Condo association to my registration because I pay dues online.

  @codeofvets @PayPal @PayPal isn't worth the trouble. IF you are successful in using them again, you will never be able to trust they won't do it again. There are so many other safe options. Count it as a blessing, and never think of them again.

  @dedes016 @ZakariaMDv3 @KKaaRRii2 They used to send me a PayPal invoice but they won’t do anymore. Last time I had to join PayPal’s XOOM app and it lets you wire funds directly to their bank in India $$. It sounds complicated but not really. The sellers are super polite and can text in English no problem.

  @Poke_Bondo eBay or PayPal GnS? both with buyer protection. If you still don’t feel comfortable after having those protections in place, then it sounds like the issue isn’t trust or safety. I’m happy to proceed through either platform as long as you cover the fees😔

  @klose_alfred @Mad_Bear_80 @Mad_Bear_80 do NOT interact with this account! This dude is a scammer. he said the same to me and then he wanted by login data of my bank account, and as I refused to do that, he told me he can send money via paypal but I'd have to send him 50€ first.

  It’s the same default setup most people use for email, banking, PayPal, cloud accounts, and recovery codes. Phone number equals “prove it’s you.” That’s the problem.
