How do I receive money through PayPal?
Paypal itself (the site) is secure IF and ONLY IF, the browser show https:// before the paypal part. there are many fake paypal sites out there hosted by spammers and scammers who try to trick people to give up their personal details and - most importants to them - their credit card details .... !!!I have had a major site selling advertising via Paypal. As payment medium it is great, but integration into a website is not alway that easy.I have seen websites sold on Flippa #1 for Buying and Selling Websites, Domains, and Apps - where your paypal email address is clearly shown inside the pages html coding. VERY POOR DESIGN !!!The paypal code - including the email address - should always be cloaked, so bots and spammers can't steal and abuse your email address.The transfer itself - well that's pretty good explained on paypal and on this site, so I won't go into all that.But as a webmaster/designer I suggest you protect the coding to avoid abuse.Depending on your platform there are probably several ways to do that.Receiving money can be done even without a paypal account. Someone wants to send you money and all they need is your email address. You then receive an email from Paypal with further instructions. NOTE: Some countries have restrictions on Paypal transactions or forbid them completely. If you have a Paypal account, you can request a withdrawal to your bankaccount. This is usually a very safe way to receive money from them.
Did someone received an email from Irish lottery that you won a big amount?
I received an email from Irish Lottery, they said I won 1,350,000.00pounds, and the amount that I won was already forwarded to Royalle Bank of Scotland. They used email address of Royalle Bank of Scottland Customer Service. What I did is i checked the website of Royalle Bank of Scotland and the email address of Royalle Bank Scottland Customer Service, Its really funny cuz they used same email address of RBS Customer Service. I replied to them of how will i claim my price and what are the requirements that they need for claiming my price to RBS. They said i need to send them my name, address, and tel no. To hide my identity, i used other name, tel no., and address... and then they said, to claim my price i need to send them 800pounds thru Western Union to the activate my account to RBS. I ask them if there is other way to activate my account directly to RBS. they said that the only way is sending them the payment thru western union. I told them that i need to confirm it with RBS----
Have you received one of the latest scam emails threatening to expose your web habits to everyone in your contact list unless you pay them money? How did you respond?
No,However, the best recourse, for ANY scam email is to not respond. EVER.The initial email is ultimately a phising exercise. They send out bulk….and wait to see who responds.Now they know you are there. You are caught. Now they will target you further.The next step is to report the sending email to the relevant abuse system, for that domain.Generally, the sender is fake, IF the scam is not looking for a response via email (for example requires you to click on links) I have had many such sources closed down. Google is especially responsive if the sender is a gmail account.Next step is to try and determine if they have got your personal data, or access to your password from some system.There are resources online that will list compromised accoubts/emsils. Just google for it.Block the sender. Make sure any further emails go straight to spamAgain, main rule: never ever respond.

Without proof he has hacked you, he is just trying to scare you into complying. Ignore him, it is a "fear" scam.

I have received the PayPal payment on my secondary email account which is not added to my PayPal account. How can I claim the money to my Paypal account?
This is a good question. Are you saying that you don't have the email in your account already, and you have received a payment on it. As far as I know, if your email is not registered to Paypal you won't be able to receive the payment.First add the email to your account as a secondary email, then ask to receive the payment again.Hope this helps.
Can you send and receive money with an unverified PayPal account? What are the limitations if you use an unverified PayPal account? Why would you verify your account?
YesHaving a bank account is not required to receive funds, send money (or spend money) - you can do all three with an unverified account up to a certain point.Using PayPal Without a Bank AccountIf you don't have a bank account attached to your PayPal account, and you'd like to get your money out, you can either "send" or "spend" whatever money someone has sent you."Sending Money" generally means person to person or person to business money transfers.Spending means buying something via a website, app, account payment, debit card, etc. Whatever you have in your balance will get spent first, and any remainder will go on your bank card.Outside of the US, in many markets you can also withdraw funds to a credit card. This is called an "original credit" by Visa and they don't allow it in the US, I believe.The Verification Process"Verification" means that you have added a bank account to your PayPal account and confirmed that you control it - through either comparing "random deposits" into the bank account, by logging in to the bank account from within PayPal, or by getting a one time code that we can send to the Transaction History of your bank account, which you would then pull from your statement and give back to us.Un-verified accounts will eventually face risk limits on sending and receiving depending on the country and usage which can be amount (usually between $1000 and 4000 USD), number of transactions, or both.
