Default Be careful what you write in Paypal transaction boxes <<--**PAYPAL PERSON - IN HERE**

Today I got an email from Paypal to tell me my account was under investigation for selling services of an illegal nature. After a call to their call centre which is RUBBISH by the way. I am resent an email which tells me three transactions are under investigation. I always ignore 'Paypal' emails as 99.99% of the time they are phishing spam.

All three of these transactions are for the deposits for the Christmas meal, oddly two of the people are no longer coming so I wondered if they had tried to get their money back but that shouldn't have caused Paypal to shut down the account, then I get on to the third transaction the note for which is.

I think £5 is quite a bargain for that kind of event tbh.

It's almost worth sending you some cash just so I can put something dodgy in the transaction box

It is quite funny, although also a pain in the arse. Hope you get it sorted ASAP.

I suspect it's actually the the tip of the iceberg where Matblack is concerned and this investigation for "dubious services" has actually been a long time coming

Hope you get it sorted though

It's not illegal to participate but I would imagine it's illegal to charge money for those services

I have to admit I laughed. Wasn't me, and I hope it gets sorted pronto but it seems PayPal are getting rather anal these days. :/
