Hi, everyone. I hope it's alright for me to post this here... My question is a little weird. My parents want me to go to therapy, but I'm not really ready for it yet. My father has a joint account with my debit/savings, so he's going to notice that while I say I'm seeing someone, the funds are not going out. (And I think saying, "Oh, I just paid in cash," is going to get suspicious after a while.) So, I thought about making a PayPal under a false name, transferring money through that (so it will reflect on the account), then sending the funds back to my regular PayPal, and putting that money eventually back into my account... only it's apparently illegal to do that. So, is there anyway to make an account that you can send money to, put a false name under, and then send that money to a regular PayPal/wherever? Or, does anyone have an better ideas?

Thanks so much.

Why would it be illegal to send your money to paypal and then back to your bank account?

No I mean its illegal to have a PayPal that's not you. So I can't make the third account that I'd need for the paper trail.

Any ideas??
 
You will never be ready for therapy.

Not sure what's your issue but going when you are absolutely need it is definitely not the way to go.

Had major anxiety issues/panic attacks from 14-17, thought I didn't need it yet.

Ended up dropping out of school & losing 15k usd bc I couldn't cope with anything

Go before it becomes a necessity, you can stop if it's not working if that's your concern
 
find someone who will help you, ie a paypal user that will send the money back to you.

Hi! Thanks for your perspective, but I've thought long and hard about this. It's honestly not an option right now due to a bunch of reasons I can't get into -- maybe in about a year when things are different?

I'm sorry you had to go through so much. I do appreciate your words, but it's just... not going to work.

Anybody else...?

So you haven't any friends then?

Uhhh I don't know who I could possibly trust to do that.
 
you can al;ways ask your friends to create a paypal

Things aren't going to be different in a year...

If you need therapy then you need therapy

One flaw in your Cunning plan, surely they will check. Edit: you want to rip off your parents and get us to suggest ways to do it

I would rather have control over the contents as it's better if it sounds professional, "PAYABLE TO DR. MEGKAN MORAN - PHARMACY TRAIL," or whatever.
 
Then don't use paypal. Do a regular bank transfer and write in the description whatever you want. People don't have Dr. in front of their bank name. Just find a friend whose name they don't know and you can trust.

It's a long story I don't want to get into it suffice to say MAYBE LATER.

I was considering making a fake website to add validity (use a cheap domain, wordpress, or whatever) -- this happens to be the biggest problem I'm having with everything.

Would rather just do this privately. There's really no way to make a third account under another name?
 
I mean you can make the account but I can't promise that account will be able to send the money back to you. Perhaps it can be refunded but I don't know enough about this. PayPal puts all kinds of limits on new unverified accounts but I remember making one with a random name and using my CC with it but I didn't try to just send money to someone.

Hmm ok. I will maybe try that then? Start small and see what happens. Thanks!
