Fake paypal

tommy · 03-19-2007

Do you think that trading with a fake paypal account is a good thing?
I have a friend who live in a country where paypal is not available and want to sign for an account with fake address.
Is there a risk with that?

Absolutely. If you use any fake information, the run the risk of loosing all your money. Not worth the risk IMO.

When you sign up for PayPal you're saying that all the information you provided is true and false statements could result in severe consequences. I wouldn't do this.

it is illegal to use fake details.

It is not worth the risk to use a paypal account with fake information...they will catch you..I am sure they have plenty of people on staff who's specific job is to catch people like this....

PayPal regularly flags accounts. This makes you have to verify it in different ways. It's routine and comes unexpectedly. You'll eventually get caught when they realize you have a bunch of money in your account and never ask for a check.

If paypal is not available in his country. how will he get his money with fake address?

its illegal to do such a thing . i wonder how he will withdraw money if he has specified a fake residence address

Not only is it illegal to do such a thing, it is also unethical to try to be someone you are not. The ends do not necessarily justfiy the means.

Also, you run the risk of your account getting frozen by paypal, should they find out that your friend is engaging in such fraudulent activities.

I would not recommend dealing with someone that is using fake information. It is illegal and if Paypal were to find out, you may be banned too!
