I recently received two emails, both timed to the same minute, claiming that Paypal had attempted to transfer money from my bank account. Both emails claimed that this attempt had been unsuccessful and as a consequence my bank account had been removed from Paypal. Although both emails were timed to the same minute they disagreed about the reason for failure: one said my account was closed, the other blamed a computer failure. Neither email included a date for this alleged attempt. The only thing true contained in either email was that my bank account had been removed, in all other respects both emails are lying, well actually it may be true that there was a computer failure, a computer failure at Paypal that is. On checking with my bank I was told that they had received many similar calls from other customers and suggested this particular problem had affected a goodly number of people. Does anyone else recognize this story? David.
