I transfer my PayPal funds onto a prepaid PayPal card all of a sudden one day I got a message saying able to do instant transfers so the money was stuck on PayPal I call PayPal they say it's the card I called the card they say it's PayPal long story short PayPal told me everyday to keep trying and to send it to my bank to try any other way after a week of this and waiting for a whole 24 hours every time for my funds to go to a different card or bank Ford to go right back to PayPal just to be told that there was nothing wrong with my account I was told that now I'm under a internal security hold and cannot receive my money at all but I can file for one of their new PayPal cards and possibly receive my money and also maybe if I check everyday one day I'll magically be able to use it I don't know what criminal activity PayPal up to but they are all the sudden doing this to a lot of people we all need to get together and fall also you guys because they're either using our money to gain interest and make a whole lot of money all of us right now or they're up to something to try to force us to get this new card but they are the ones telling us there's nothing wrong they're the ones telling us to keep trying to use it and of course we're going to keep trying when they say there's nothing wrong and then they say that because of your activity you can't have your money PayPal you are going down and I'm contacting everyone of their Partnerships and letting them know of your criminal activity and I am placing this on Google Play App Store under every PayPal app under reviews I'm going to keep telling everyone until everyone knows what you're doing ...

This is the exact same thing that's happened to me word for word they are criminals we all need to get together and file lawsuits on them I'm filing my small claims court lawsuit already got my lawyer this is against the law every time you call them they tell you to keep trying to send it and then they say oh it's all your fault because you kept on trying to send it or send it to a card or to a bank but every time you call them they act like they don't know there's no problem they send you to the card company and in the car company send you them and then when it all comes to a head and you're flipping out on them they say that there's nothing they can do about it and that you can send it back to the people you got it from or just let it sit there until maybe one day you're able to spend it again what they're doing is they are using our money building interest on it and they're trying to force us to take their new card that they're putting out on the market it's a new PayPal card they're trying to get rid of everybody else they are criminals and we all need to sue them the same time ...

If you even was ever able to use your money again then you're lucky because they have not giving me mine at all they just keep on telling me to send it and then I had to wait 24 hours and it comes right back to my account because they said I have an internal security hold on my funds because I tried to receive my funds so please be careful trying to get your money this is a sick criminal company ...

If I was you I would stop trying to receive it because basically if you try more than a couple you know once or twice they end up putting a serious security hold on it and you won't be able to do nothing with it and they'll never tell you how to get it out they'll tell you to send it back where it come from so just stop trying to use it and contact them and try to talk to a supervisor or something they do this to you for trying to spend your money they don't want you putting it on a prepaid card or sending it to a bank they are criminals they want you to leave it in their account or use it on their new debit card because that's going to be the advice I give you don't keep trying to use it even though they tell you to keep going in and trying to transfer the money over and over and over do not do it because you will end up getting internally locked out of your account from security and no one can get you unlocked from what they say ...

I'm so upset right now I'm going through the exact same thing PayPal put a security hold on my money because I tried to instant transfer it to my prepaid PayPal card they said my spending patterns were not regular but I just got the account for months ago they don't know my spending pattern so needless to say they put a hold on my account for security everytime I call PayPal they said it's no problem on their end that it's the card I called the card they say it's PayPal every time I talk to PayPal they tell me to try to send it to another bank or card so I do what they say and I end up getting a permanent hold it seems like all my money and even supervisors cannot tell me what to do they tell me to send the money back where it came from or to just wait and see if it magically comes back to me they all act like they didn't know what was going on until they **bleep** me over so many times trying to send it to the bank I thought I was going to get a instant transfer for $0.25 and up getting my money froze for a whole day just to come right back to PayPal I called every single day trying to get help and all they do is try to tell me to get their new PayPal card this is so terrible I needed this money to buy groceries already lost my home for months ago because they didn't let me get my money for 21 days even though the whole time I've been a personal account and I ended up not being able to pay my mortgage and having to move out right now I am filing a small claims court case on them and suing because of my loss and damages ...
