Hey guys,
to get a PayPal cash account you need to verify your SSN in the US, now I saw that people are selling fully verified PayPal accounts (with SSN!) online.
How? You can't make up a fake SSN it won't go through. Are these people who have hacked someone's account? No, it would get shut down by PayPal as soon as the original owner contacts PayPal about having been hacked.
So how are they doing it? Where do they get these SSN numbers from?
For the record, I ll use my own SSN on my own PayPal account and call it a day, but I can't help but be curious how on earth these people do that? And I have to say, it does get me slightly worried about typing in my SSN.
Let's say someone buys such a fully verified PayPal account. That would enable said person to add cash at the store straight to the account and use it for online payments, etc. Which is basically money laundering without even having to launder it. Obviously I am missing something??!
Can anyone explain what's going on?
Much appreciated
