I agree with Flowbee and others here who have pointed out how completely ridiculous this situation is. Practically every resident in our city has gotten the same 'I'm a desperate dad and send me money' request due to someone leaking an email list, not that it is difficult to find anyone's email these days. Emails are essentially public record. But that's all that was needed for this person to request money via Paypal from literally everyone. This person is no one I know. This person is not on my Contacts list. I do not want this person to have any confirmation that my email is valid nor that I received (and canceled) his request. I do not want the ONLY option that Paypal shows me to be 'Send Payment'. That is insanely stupid. How can this not have been solved yesterday? I am baffled. I don't need Paypal. There are many other choices out there now. If I don't get a working solution here in the next week, I'll have no choice but to drop Paypal entirely.
