I just received an email from a fake email address accts@paypaI.com, and here’s the screenshot of the mail they’ve sent to me.

On the email they wrote there that my account got limited. They gave a link to their website, http://pp201.pya.jp/PP and they will redirect you to their homepage,

Looks like they clone the paypal website, but funny thing is they can’t make the layout on the proper position.

I just wrote this blog post to make people aware on this new scam. I’ll also give tips on how to get rid of this scam. Be sure not to login to any site without “https://” , As you can see I’ve made emphasis on the letter S. Make sure you’re logging in to https://paypal.com not any other URL.

I know there are lot of scam like these, and this is not new to many. But I just want to give some pointers on people who’s not aware of this.

I just want to tell my experience on hostgator because I’m pretty much upset on another temporary suspension of my account. Yesterday I received an email to them and they told me that one of my website consumes 25% of the CPU and they have to temporarily suspend my account without warning again! I’m clueless on what might cause of the problem. So I’ve emailed them to activate my account so that I can fixed the problem. After 12 hours or so I received a response from them

It looks as though 216.8.149.141 ip was hitting your account thousands of times causing it to slow. I will enable the account and block that IP, thanks.

WTF, so they suspend my account because someones trying to access one of my sites for thousands of times? Now think again before you will purchase a hosting account on Hostgator.

Yesterday the much awaited PageRank Toolbar Update happened. This is the second pagerank toolbar update this year. And I know, some of you are happy and some of you are sad. Although this isn’t very important for me lately but I believe I need to give a buzz about this topic to my readers. So go check now your website Toolbar PageRank.

Recently while searching for a tool that could give me the most accurate broadband speed test tool because I’m not sure if my ISP is giving me the speed that I’ve recently subscribed to them. I saw the news that Yahoo has rejected Microsoft’s bid. According to Yahoo! board of directors, Microsoft is undervalue Yahoo! as a company. They believed that they deserve way higher than what Microsoft bid, the amount is $42 Billion.

I don’t know what Microsoft thinking on purchasing stocks on Yahoo! but I do believe that Yahoo! board of directors has made the right choice. They are more bigger company than Microsoft and also I don’t like monopoly in the internet. Competition is very good because it gives more choices to people and better products. In terms of search results, Yahoo! is far way better than MSN search algorithm, and also Yahoo! has more audience than MSN.

Few of my friends told me that their Paypal withdrawal are still in pending status. Usually Paypal processes withdrawal within 24-48 hours. But a friend told me that he tried to withdraw last Saturday January 26, 2008 and up until now the status of his withdrawal is still in pending status. This is a very big problems for our fellow online venturer or Pinoy who do business online. I hope this will be resolved soon.

I told them to email Paypal support but still no reply from their support team. I was browsing a American Home Shield website when my sister told me that she also experienced the problem. If my memory is still sharp I think they will reply to your email after 1 week or more. I think this is the facility of Paypal that needs to be improve. Although they already allowed Paypal Withdrawal features through Debit Card and lately you can now withdraw Paypal money through your Philippines Bank Account. I’ve already tried to withdraw through my bank account yesterday and I’ll update you on it’s status.

UPDATE:

Here’s a quote from my sister’s email regarding her Paypal to UnionBank EON withdrawal

I called paypal customer service just now for more than 10 mins and they told me that the week of january 28 - feb 2 the time frame for the money to be completed in your account is 10 business days. So by Friday, I should be able to see my money in a completed status. I also talked to another customer service and he said that maybe the local bank account has a problem because in my account status in their database, it is already completed…I don’t know who to believe now….

UPDATE February 08, 2008:

If your Paypal withdrawal through UnionBank’s EON card is still in pending process better call Paypal customer service through Skype:

Here are the details you should need.

Hours of service:
9:00 SGT to 18:00 SGT from Monday to Friday

For general questions, please call:
(65)-6510-4650 (a Singapore telephone number)

My friend Joe called Paypal few minutes later and Paypal told him that they will include his name on the list of Paypal user who have problems with Paypal withdrawal through UnionBank’s EON card. And Paypal support also told him to check the status of his withdrawal after 2 days if they have corrected the problem. That’s it for now. I’ll update you on these topic once I got another information regarding this topic.

Here is the list of Philippines Bank Codes ( Routing transit number) which was originally posted here

I’ve made my first Paypal Withdrawal through my BDO bank account yesterday. After 24 hours I checked my Paypal Withdrawal status after browsing Tru Green website and the status is still pending. I’m afraid that these withdrawal will also be delayed like others experienced. Anyway, I’ll update you on this problem on this blog. Stay tuned.

Finally the wait is over. Pinoy venturer or Pinoy who conduct business online can now withdraw their Paypal money through their Philippines bank account. Received your money directly to your Philippines savings or checking bank account. Before you can only used Union Bank EON Cyber Account to withdraw your Paypal money or other Visa debit cards, and it’s good to have another option in withdraw your Paypal money. The problem with UnionBank EON Cyber Account is it will took atleast 2 weeks before you can withdraw your money if you don’t have a UnionBank EON cyber account.

This features was first announced here on ebay.ph while browsing Terminix website not on other blogs out there that claiming that their first one to announced the news. I think it’s not right that a pinoy blog start claiming that their only source for this news. They didn’t even link to the original news because they want to justify that their one who first announced the news. Anyway, I’ve also blogged about the Bank Codes that you can use in your Paypal withdrawal.
