PayPal in Court...wtf?
 

Just got a really long email from PayPal informing me of some class action settlement for anyone who opened a PayPal account between Oct '99 and Jan '04.

Anyone else get this? eek:

does this mean you get money or something.

Theres something on hardocp frontpage about it in yesterdays news section, think if you signed up before a certain date they have to pay you back a certain cash amount or some shit.

Yeah, apparently someone's suing PayPal on behalf of all those users. It looks legit, but you never can tell.

[quote:d08c7]The lawsuit alleges that PayPal violated the federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act ("EFTA"), 15 U.S.C. §§ 1693 et seq., including provisions requiring PayPal to supply customers with information about dispute resolution procedures and to follow certain procedures when investigating complaints of unauthorized or incorrect electronic fund transfers. For example, the lawsuit claims that PayPal did not provide account statements in the manner required by the EFTA. The lawsuit further alleges that PayPal has placed inappropriate restrictions or other limits on customers' accounts and engaged in other improper practices.[/quote:d08c7]

Whoa

i made an account in 2002
1337

i made one in 03' but havent touched it, do i get?

i made mine a long time ago. no email yet tho

Damnit! Whyd I have to sign up in March.. oOo:

i got it too, it is legit, you just have to fill out all the forms... its a 9.2 million dollar settlement, each person in the class will get paid out, but likely there will be several million in the class, so the chance of big bucks is slim, but i'm going to do it... unless it fucks you over with PayPal in the future... maybe i'll get my lawyer to look at it...

You basicly get a check for 20-50$.I've allready got mine happy:

honest?...

class action: means that teh victims collect like 50 cents while the scumbag trial lawyers (Like John Edwards) collect millions.

4shizzlewizzle oOo: biggrin:

weird I signed up in december. I better get this email soon cause paypal sucks. Keep telling me my pw is wrong then giving me shit. And now when I am in mid order of a new HDD they tell me the iste is down until 3am pdt for corrections. bs

I'm not gonna bother. Meh.
