This morning saw the PAYPAL PRENOTE $0.00 dated May 26. 1st call, bank, they have no idea if it's legit or a scam probe into the account; I can always cancel that account and setup a new one - are you kidding? Next call Paypal; system gave me option be called back in 17 min so I took it. When he system called me back, it failed ("press 1" and I did, then it said invalid or something) and hung up on me. Started whole process over and just stayed on the line. Rep eventually (after getting much info from me and being on hold for many minutes) said that it was a legit account verification from Paypal and not to worry - now moot since it's unlinked. While I was waiting for the original callback, I had changed my PP psswd and delinked my bank account. I was asked if I got an email from PP advising of this and answer was NO, she confirmed they never sent email. I spent over 1-1/2 hrs of billable time checking this ... and a 15 sec email from PP would have prevented the whole thing. I don't use PP so often anymore, maybe time to just cancel it and avoid such a waste in the future? Meanwhile, I'll have to continue monitoring ....
