I hope paypal does not freak out..........

[The Stigenator]

I transfered a lot of money from my acct to my brothers bank acct..

my brother didnt have a paypal, and he was writing some software for someone.. so he had them transfer it to mine. I am unverified (i took off verification because of all that paypal fraud that was out there - just to be on a safe side). So far I have transferred it.. hope they dont find it suspecious.. its legal I tell you.. damn paypal.. they drive me nuts sometimes.

So far my brother's bank acct is the one its sending too, though my name isnt on his acct (the addy is the same on both my paypal and his bank address for home).

oh well.. i hope there wont be any complications..

I did what most people say.. take out money as soon as it comes in, so I have been transferring it out.

Funny though.. my brother said he shoudlnt have gotten the second batch so early.. oh well its on its way to his acct.

By bumping your post within 10 minutes or by spelling 'suspicious' wrong?

How is this suspicious?

Money goes into your account -> money transferred to another with same address

OMG this is so true.

But don't worry, Manjul. You'll be fine.

With all the tens of thousands of transactions that must occur each day, you think they would really notice yours?

BTW, how would taking off verification protect you against paypal fraud?

i dont know but I took my bank acct after ppl in here about money missing because of an ETF from paypal.. and stuff..

I got scared and plus I had fraud on a card I was taking no chances I took out my card and the bank acct off paypal.. I just added my brothers in (yet to be verified) so I can send the money to his acct..

edit:

Its a significant amount of money.. not like 10 or 20 bucks.. its a large amount.. two large ETF's to his acct.

Dude, you are screwed, Paypal will flag your transaction and they will hold your money forever!

What is your definition of significant amount?

I'd say anything over $3,000 but Paypaldamon would probably know the answer.

close enough...... if not more now that you combine both items.

my brother is writing this peice of software and they are paying. Needless to say so far the demo part of the software took less than 2 hrs to write (thank god for borland builder and delphi) and that program works.

i am not saying anything about the program because of liablity, but i am putting in some features i want in it too.

I know in Canada and some other countries the bank or other places that transfer money (Western Union) have to report any transaction over $10000 to the goverment. This is to try to stop money laundering.

No! You were supposed to transfer it into my account!

Hi The_good_guy,

I could possibly see an issue if your PayPal account had your brother's banking information listed on it and you were not listed as an authorized user with the financial institution.

yeah real smart. you're worried about being discovered for a suspicious activity (i have no idea if it is) and you post on a public message board frequented by a guy who works for paypal.

$3000 is nothing. At one point, i had $10k+ in there. But then I took it out and put it in ING. Better rate for ING
