I have a PayPal account. I can't get into my PayPal account without a cell phone number, meaning, I can't use a Voice Over Internet Protocol number with texting. I don't want PayPal to support bullying by sending my number to harassers without my consent, because I already have that problem and I don't want to make it any worse. Quick talking sales people and robots keep calling me about my car warranty yet they don't know the make and model of my car, which you would need to know at a minimum to actually fill out warranty claims at a repair shop. Will you be paying for my burner phone service so I can continue to securely access my account so I can control where my money goes, or will you lock me out until I consent to eternal harassment? One more thing. I explicitly don't consent to the following block I am quoting. "By providing your mobile phone number, you give us permission to contact you about your branded PayPal accounts using automated calls or texts to service your accounts, investigate fraud, or collect a debt, but not for telemarketing. If you don’t want to receive automated calls or texts, you can change your preferences in your account settings at any time." If I do happen to provide a mobile phone number so I can continue to use my PayPal account without PayPal providing me a disposable phone, it will be under duress. I will be saving a copy of this message for my records in case we need to discuss this further to find a resolution.
