Philadelphia's Classiest Drunkards
chu I hear what you're saying. Obviously I did check all the boxes they asked and in one of them I'm sure it said I can only take out $500 per month unless I give them my dna/ss/checking & first born. the problem is that they can't guarantee the safety of the infomation they're asking my to provide and furthermore I don't think, even if you agreed to it, that legally you can extort someone like that. Even though they agreed to it in writing. thats like saying I can pimp you out because you signed this piece of paper saying I can... but its still illegal to pimp someone out.
Also their site says "there MAY be a $500.00 daily limit". that is a very grey statement.
I was on the phone with a manager yesterday who said he understood my concerns and would increase the frequency with which I can withdrawal $500. so instead of once per month it would be 10x per month. The problem is that dude on the phone couldn't figure out how to do so he was supposed to call me back... but never did. When I called them at lunch today of corse they had no record of the guy i talked to or ever being able to do anything like what I was told to an account.
Also, Chu, don't fool yourself into thinking the info you provide them is 'safe' in anyway. much larger more secure companies than paypal can and do get hacked. You rarely hear about it thought because everything is kept internal and the customer usually doesn't know until its too late.

I think you two would make cute littel azn babies if it makes you feel any better..
Mark I hear your concerns- you could overly worry about it all or just suck it up and give them what they need so u can grab u're money then run.
anyway data security is an issue anywhere and being in IT i've heard the stories.
statistically 90+% of companies go out of business after a major data loss.
and 55% of the statistics you read on the internet are made up.
