Derek (@OilBeak) reported@PayPal I've been trying to get money off of your site and into my bank for like 6+ months and have run into issue after issue. I keep getting told "oh just try again" and things get pushed down the line for another week.

HazeFi (@HazeFund) reported@FBIDirectorKash The biggest problems are the banks fraud protection. Countless times have I seen Bank of America and PayPal allow for these transactions with a victim profile of 60 yrs+

X (@WagerWizard00) reported@George_Dubs_ @realroseceline I think the issue for PayPal on ads is people open PayPal/Venmo for a few seconds to pay for something they’ve already decided to buy, it's hard to capture someone's attention in that brief moment. Whereas people log onto Facebook/insta and doom scroll and can be inspired to buy

The Arcane Verse⚕️ (@Telephantix) reported@FTC I am following up on an official complaint I filed with your office a few years ago. I continue to experience issues with several companies that appear to block or withhold funds through their policies or technology. These companies include Gmail, Cash App, PayPal, and X (formerly Twitter). Cash App is embedded within the X platform, yet after years they still claim I never received funds that should have reached me. I strongly suspect fabricated transaction numbers or records, which I believe constitutes fraud. These actions have resulted in the loss of life-changing sums of money due to what appears to be poor policy enforcement and/or malfeasance. I respectfully request that the FTC investigate these companies for unfair and deceptive practices. Please advise on the status of my prior complaint and what additional documentation or steps are needed to move forward. Thank you for your assistance. Joshua Lowden @Telephantix

Priyal Raj (@Capta1nCodes) reportedHey @Meta @WhatsApp @whatsappforbiz I am begging you to fix the issue of payment of WABA multiple times. I have tried more than 10 cards, payment still failed, no UPI, no Paypal, no support.

Jean-Philippe Lebœuf (@jpleboeuf) reportedTried moving money out of PayPal Business. Even Gemini 3.5 Flash Extended couldn’t explain it after a long back-and-forth, even with full access to PayPal docs and Reddit. PayPal, your documentation and UX are broken: if an LLM cannot get it, regular users have zero chance.

silentsuite.io (@silentsuiteio) reported@TutaPrivacy Wise for international transfers, Revolut for everyday use. But the PayPal breach is a good reminder that the payment layer isn't the only thing worth auditing- most people lock down their payments before they think about what their calendar or contacts are leaking.

Merry Poppins (@MerryPoppins56) reported@amazon Why do you allow companies to use a Shipping Company that is known for Scamming Associations? Jcex❓Effectively tracking JCEX shipments is generally not possible, as many Redditors report JCEX tracking to be unreliable and often associated with scams. The consensus among users is that JCEX is frequently used by fraudulent sellers, leading to fake tracking updates, packages marked as delivered but never received, and significant difficulty in getting accurate information or resolving issues. Common Issues with JCEX Tracking •False Delivery Notifications: Many users report that their JCEX tracking updates show the package as "delivered" when it has not arrived, or even shows delivery to a completely different location. "Same thing happened to me, it claimed it was delivered but it never arrived it’s a total scam ask for a refund" . •Irregular and Suspicious Updates: Tracking information often appears to be fabricated, with updates occurring at unusual intervals (e.g., every three days) or showing identical timestamps for different packages supposedly going to different locations. "And why the tracking updates are so weird on every 3 days?" . •Lack of Detailed Information: The tracking often provides minimal useful information, making it impossible to determine the package's actual whereabouts or the local carrier responsible for final delivery. "no local forwarding number there is absolutely no information i cant even see who has my package" . Difficulty in Resolving Issues •Unresponsive Customer Service: Redditors frequently mention that JCEX is difficult or impossible to contact directly for support. "I also tried calling their contact number but the number isn’t registered or working." . •Seller Involvement in Scams: Many instances suggest that sellers intentionally use JCEX with fraudulent intentions, relying on the unreliable tracking to string buyers along until buyer protection periods expire. "JCEX is currently being used by scammers, a seller (scammer) asked for more money to "release" this package that shows as delivered but of course was never delivered" . •Reliance on Marketplace Refunds: The most common resolution for unreceived items shipped via JCEX is to seek a refund from the marketplace (e.g., eBay, Amazon, Walmart) where the purchase was made. "I never got it but I was able to get my money back from eBay because I also used PayPal to pay for my order" . Recommendations for Buyers •Exercise Extreme Caution: Be very wary of purchases that indicate shipping via JCEX, especially from unfamiliar or newly established sellers. "Use extreme cautious with JCEX tracking via online marketplace merchants" . •Monitor Buyer Protection Timelines: If a purchase is shipped via JCEX, keep a close eye on the refund and return policies of the marketplace to ensure you can file a claim if the package doesn't arrive. "I contacted eBay asking them to extend the product guarantee based on what the seller had said, eBay denied me. I then appealed and got my refund, as the eBay rep said in their message that it does show as delivered and that they could see it was still in transit." . •Consider Alternative Shipping: If possible, choose sellers who use reputable shipping carriers with transparent and reliable tracking. "If it is JCEX it is fraud." .
