  PayPal is such a pain. So many hoops. High charges. Every time I went to use it, there was some issue or glitch or something didn't work right. And now they closed my account because I did not respond to some scam. PayPal sucks

  In 2012, Honey launched as a browser extension that promised to find coupon codes automatically and save you money while shopping online. It blew up. Millions of people installed it. Thousands of merchants partnered with it. Some of the biggest YouTubers on the internet promoted it. Then MegaLag started digging. What he found made Honey look very different from the innocent coupon extension everyone thought they were using. Honey could allegedly replace a creator's affiliate cookie at checkout, taking the commission for itself even when that creator had originally sent the customer to the store. And sometimes, Honey didn't even have to find you a better deal. MegaLag also found evidence that Honey's “best coupon” system wasn't necessarily searching the entire internet for the best price. Merchants could control which discounts Honey showed. Then things got worse. His later investigations uncovered Honey's alleged use of “stand-down” workarounds, allowing it to continue receiving affiliate attribution despite agreements telling it not to overwrite another affiliate's referral. By 2026, this wasn't just a YouTube controversy anymore. Affiliate networks started cutting ties with Honey, and the extension had lost more than 7 million Chrome users and thousands of merchant relationships. Then came the lawsuit. PayPal tried to get the case dismissed. It didn't work. On June 22, 2026, a federal judge denied PayPal's motion to dismiss the amended lawsuit, allowing the claims to move forward. And that's why I call Honey a scam. Not because it sometimes failed to find a coupon. But because something marketed as a tool for saving you money allegedly became very good at making money from the transaction itself. Honey wasn't looking for the best deal. It was looking for its cut.

  🚨 Someone built a tool that checks if your email is registered on 120+ sites — without the sites ever knowing someone checked. No notifications sent. No login attempts logged. No alerts triggered. Silent. Invisible. Complete. It's called Holehe. 16,800 GitHub stars. And the technique behind it is what makes it different from every other email OSINT tool. Here's how most email checkers work — and why they fail. Standard approach: try to log in with the email and a fake password. If the error says "wrong password" — the account exists. If it says "account not found" — it doesn't. Problem: every login attempt gets logged. Every failed attempt triggers security alerts on accounts with 2FA. Some platforms lock accounts after repeated failed attempts. The target knows someone was checking. Holehe never attempts a login. Instead it uses the "forgot password" flow — the password reset mechanism that every platform exposes publicly. When you enter an email on a forgot password page, the platform has to check whether that email exists in its database. It tells you: "we sent a reset link" or "no account found." Holehe reads that response. Gets the answer. Never touches the login flow. Never triggers a security alert. Never logs an access attempt against the account. The platform confirms whether the email exists. The account owner never finds out anyone asked. Here's what 120+ platforms looks like in practice. Social media: Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, Tumblr, Reddit. Professional: LinkedIn, GitHub, Freelancer, Fiverr. Dating: Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid, Badoo, Happn. Entertainment: Spotify, Netflix, Twitch, Steam, Epic Games, Deezer. Shopping: Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Zalando, AliExpress. Services: Airbnb, Uber, PayPal, Dropbox, Adobe. And 90+ more. Every registration checked silently. Here's the use case that makes people share this. Run your own email address. See every platform that comes back positive. Then run an email address you gave to a company that claimed they'd never share it. See if it's registered on data broker sites and marketing platforms you never signed up for. See where your email has been sold or leaked to. Here's what investigators actually use it for. Journalists verifying whether a source's claimed identity matches their digital footprint. Security researchers auditing their own exposure before a public disclosure. HR teams verifying whether candidate profiles match claimed backgrounds. And the obvious: anyone who needs to know whether a specific email address belongs to a real active person — without alerting that person. Here's the wildest part. It runs async — all 120+ platforms checked simultaneously. Results in seconds. And it exports clean JSON or CSV for integration into larger OSINT pipelines. Pair it with Blackbird (which takes the confirmed email and finds linked profiles), Sherlock (which takes usernames found in those profiles and searches 400+ platforms), and Maigret (which builds the full dossier) — and you have a complete four-tool OSINT pipeline from a single email address. One command to instal. Run it on your own email first. 16.8K GitHub stars. 1.7K forks. MIT License. 100% Open Source. GitHub link in the comments 👇

  @jmnationtv @PayPal @AskPayPal PayPal is such a joke. They did the same to me recently, permanent deactivation because my account is connected to a different account that has unsolved issues. Guess what - I have no other account that has any issues. I called them and they said it doesn't need to be my account that I was connected to, so it can be any random VGen user for example (wth by the way?!), so I can do nothing. I talked to 3 different customer support employees, all did nothing to help and couldn't even tell me any details as "privacy policy". At this point I gave up, but hope your case will be solved and that you can actually make a difference 🥺

  @chelleyourself . What applies here are no less than 50 long-form investigative journalism articles of around 4,000 words each, at least most of which are reflected on my timeline right here and then over at my Substack spot. If you click on the link in my Bio it takes you right there. I had all those artkcles on my timeline in full but no one was supporting my efforts so I took them all off and moved them over to Substack behind a paywall. Whoever critiqued them said they were great but that was just a handful of people along the way. The engagement they got was demoralizing so I basically stopped leaving them on here. I still make them available for free here, usually for 24 hours before removing them but I might just stop doing that too, because it's all just steadily gone downhill to nothing. The critical turn came when I produced a series of articles targeting the Paypal Mafia and Elon Musk directly, and was also focusing on what amounts to organized crime activities being carried out in the White House, such as, "The Doge Scam" and "The Pardons Racket". After that I found myself locked in a vault, with my posts getting like 30-120 impressions max and close to zero engagement. They've been pulling all kinds of other ***** tricks too... I wrote a lot about it... some articles, mostly just smaller pieces, just about all of which I've dumped off my timeline since then. At one point I was just going to abandon this enterprise completely, whwereupon I went on a jag and dumped like 2,000 posts -- or more -- off the timeline. My goal was to just have a neat column of article ads redirecting interested parties over to Substack, but at the end of all that I just kept going, but definitely throttled down considerably. I don't know if you remember me... We crossed paths when I first got on here, and you and Subi-Doo gave me my first little leg up... I think at that point I had 0, then 5, then 40, then 100 followers. Then I joined SmokeFleet, as Gina Lola Brigida, -- that was good for 1,000 followers -- but eventually I reverted back to my own identity for what should be obvious reasons, considering I am in fact an author, and a journalist, and my name is basically my brand. Things went downhill drastically when I did, though, and have never really been the same since then. It's basically just gone downhill to nothing, it's just been awful. A lot of people have made me aware over time that the platform's been actively rigging the game against me, and I've seen -- and documented -- a lot of underhanded stuff myself. I don't know really what to do about any of that. I don't see that there's much you can do. I've seen what they can do if they want to amplify your voice. And I've seen what they can do if they determine they don't want you getting your message out. The difference between the two is breathtaking. Good to see you again, it's been awhile. What's going on with you? .

  I am $24,000 in debt at 18 years old and I need help. This isn’t any gimmick, i’ve made some big poor choices at a young age and I have and am still learning through but the monetary number itself is a mountain for me to get rid of in my current situation as i’m heading into college with this on my shoulders. I already know I need to work my *** off and this is my own problem that will take a long time, but truthfully this **** is hard. Im putting this out there for anyone who has the ability/want, to help me out a little no matter what the ammount is, aswell as if you want it returned to you, we can connect and talk about a casual repayment plan. Cashapp: $Sstonuttt For zelle,venmo, paypal, crpyto, or any other option dm me please

  Well @PayPal it’s been 5 days for PP-L-857921601544 - and my account isn’t restored. It’s been over 60 for a fraudulent claim of no-refund when you can see I provided one - so I’ve effectively lost $600. If I can’t use my account to move money, I guess I can’t use it to make the payments on the working capital. Fix this.
