PayPal limited my account
I got a bit of a shock today when I logged into my PayPal account. PayPal had changed the status of my account to “limited” and barred me from sending or receiving payments until I have sent them the relevant documents they requested to “verify” my existence. So I would have to send them via fax:
1. Copy of my IC
2. Copy of my driving license
3. Copy of my utility bill
4. Another page containing my name, contact number and address.
Good thing that I have everything in order, phew. Its troublesome but I’ve learned that its best not to make a fuss out of this and simply comply with what they requested from me. I could have sent it to them tonight but I don’t have the “utility bill” with me. So I guess I will fax it first thing tomorrow. I’m not sure how I am going to fax those documents to the United States either. Maybe I can ask those people at TM when I drop by there tomorrow to complain about my Streamyx account.

That’s y they are reliable. Trust me, you don’t wanna mess wif them. I had to call to US few times to had it unfreezed, but no, only following their strict securities will do..

PayPal is definitely the best. Safe and secure. By the time PayPal allow Malaysian account to withdraw funds, E-commerce activity will surely skyrocketing.

What if the utility bill is under my father’s name? Does Paypal accept it?
