WARNING: PayPal went full crazy

[Shoonay]

In short: they changed their instant payment handler to Trustly which wants your full banks' login and password info so they could login and "safely" perform the operation while having full access to your account history... :blased:

Even your bank states that they will NEVER ask for your personal login and password details, so who is this "Trustly" handler anyway?

I guess they're a hit in Sweden? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trustly

Actually, I don't "Trustly" them. Better pay with bank transfer than using third party "services".

 

[-Acid-]

sounds like a complete scam site to me

Haha, after getting banned by most banks here and avoided by users they noticed that "something" might be wrong so they changed it.
Now we get to keep our private account data but they still use Trustly so a full name and IP adress will be recorded.
Oh well, I can live with that.

You will never be required to give your password to another site or to Paypal itself. It will always be a scam if a company asks.

No, some people prefer it that way, check my post #3, Trustly is really a legit company
