Question Posted Wednesday December 8 2004, 5:13 pm
I think I accidentally signed up for that paypal thing on this site. I got like 2 messages saying thankyou, I don't know when or how it happened, but I can't be signed up, this is my parents computer, and I have no money to pay for any of that. Will someone please tell me what happened? I deleted the e-mails after responding to one saying whatever happened it was an accident. This is Southern_Chickety just to let you know, incase it's important. I don't know if it's for something else, but I got these to e-mails that both said thankyou for signing up for paypal. So if it's not for this site, then how I can I not be signed up for whatever it's for? Sorry it's long, but I'm so confused.
Additional info, added Thursday December 9 2004, 8:46 pm: I don't know what I did, but I don't think I signed up. Something must've happened, but whatever it was, it has nothing to do with this site.. Want to answer more questions in the Technology category? Maybe give some free advice about: Advicenators? advicenator_admin answered Thursday December 9 2004, 8:04 am: You can't really "accidently" sign up, the whole process takes like five clicks through pages and a paypal password and a lot of other things. There's no way you can sign up and promise to pay, you have to pay when you sign up, so if you have no money there's no way to get a paid account or even start the process.
Spammers send thousands of paypal fraud e-mails every day in an attempt to get people's passwords. If you just got a general "thank you for your payment" that had nothing to do with advicenators, then trust me, it had nothing to do with advicenators. Forward it to me if you're not sure.
Our "official" thank-you e-mail subject has your username and says "[yourname]: Advicenators account upgraded". People can buy paid accounts for other members, so maybe that happened for you, but either way you have nothing to worry about.
