PayPal: Part 2
May 29, 2008 | Chinese lifePayPal isn’t letting me withdraw any money since they’ve cleverly detected that I’m using the account in China. I still know my mother’s maiden name and my secret numbers, but the customer service guy says that’s not quite enough, and to prove that I’m really really me, I have to receive a phone call at my number on file. Which is in New Jersey, and I’m not.
Their security is so good that the only way I can get to my account is have my mom call and pretend to be me.

Oh yikes! An automated voice called at 12:30 a.m. last night, woke me up and asked me for my PayPal PIN. Since it wasn’t a real person and I don’t have a PayPal account I hung up and went back to dreamland. Looks like your PayPal account may be down for a while…

So I explained that I’m in China, and gave all my codes and passwords and whatnot, and they said they’d look into it, and then called NJ 12 hours later?!?!
Seriously, now they’re just screwing with me.
