chukky (@chuka_nwamama) reported@surrealsoftlife @Billiheadboy @Hybrid_Ola The truth is that the platforms that have restricted us have means to restrict scammers. If scamming was the issue, why is Paypal back now? They left when scamming wasn't that huge a problem and have returned now a large number of boys are yahoo boys. SMH

Jordan Barrand (@0X_Barrand) reported@CoinNapCoin1 @AskPayPal If the account details were changed recently, there may still be a traceable sequence of account modifications and login events available. The sooner those records are reviewed, the better the chances of identifying and reversing unauthorized changes affecting your account.

Bishal Nandi (@LearnWithBishal) reported1. Email Bombing The Situation: You wake up to 147 password reset emails. Amazon. Netflix. PayPal. LinkedIn. Every account seems under attack. Your first instinct is panic. You start changing passwords immediately. The Mechanics: The flood of emails isn't the real attack. It's camouflage. Attackers deliberately subscribe you to hundreds of newsletters and mailing lists at once. The goal is to bury an important email inside the chaos. A purchase confirmation. A banking alert. A password change notification. Something they don't want you to notice. The Fix: Stop. Before deleting anything, search your inbox for: • "Order" • "Purchase" • "Invoice" • "Password changed" Those emails often reveal the actual target.

Nisha Patel, MD MS, Dipl of ABOM, CCMS (@DrPlantel) reportedLet’s clear up a common misconception. Doctors are not getting paid every time they prescribe a medication. There is no secret PayPal from Big Pharma. Per prescription kickbacks are illegal. Now, do financial relationships between physicians and industry exist? Yes. But they are generally tied to services rendered or other transfers of value, not prescriptions. Examples include: • Conducting research • Consulting • Speaking or education • Travel related to legitimate professional activities • Meals provided during educational presentations Many of these relationships are publicly reported and searchable through the Open Payments database. That is very different from: “Your doctor prescribed a medication, therefore they got paid.” That is not how this works. And here’s where I think people should apply the same skepticism consistently. If a wellness influencer is selling supplements, detoxes, coaching, testing, memberships, affiliate products, or courses, ask: • How much money do they make from this recommendation? • What happens to their income if you follow their advice? • Are they profiting from keeping you worried about a problem? • Are they selling a solution to a fear they created? • Are they discussing risks, limitations, and uncertainty or only benefits? Because here’s the interesting part: You can look up many physician industry payments in a public database. There is no public website where you can search how much a wellness influencer made from a supplement deal, affiliate link, brand partnership, detox program, or coaching package. Financial incentives deserve scrutiny. All of them. Not just the ones we already disagree with. Skepticism is healthy. Selective skepticism is not.

Mike (@MikeMt1000) reported@MetamateDaz Yeah because the REAL CRIME is they never taught “Financial Literacy” and “Debt management” like our government the US CITIZEN has a spending problem. Check Klarna, PayPal, Affirm purchases and delinquencies. They wanted you a consumer slave and we all became one. MONEY IS BROKEN

Itz_lian😈 (@ItzLian) reported@saintkiIIa @chwishiez The issue is that if they put "Not as described", they usually get a refund from PayPal and get to keep item, which is a common scam/exploit used by many for any little inconvenience for a freebie

Vikram Pai (@vikpai) reportedThe problem isn't that affiliate marketing doesn't work in India. It's that the infrastructure never existed. - Creators charge high upfront fees, but brands expect sales guarantees and don't pay - Creators don't trust brands to accurately attribute sales. See @AnshulGains rant - And until recently, there was no easy way to handle payouts, TDS compliance, attribution, fraud prevention, COD detection, and reporting at scale. The US got Stripe, PayPal, Impact, ShareASale, and 200 other softwares India only has @ReferRush
