Re: [Full-disclosure] PayPal acount removal: bug or feature?
Dear Matthew Flaschen, PayPal is exactly https://www.paypal.com/. No, it's not phishing. I found on PayPal support it's only possible to close accounts in 'inactive' state. I'm not sure about the terms under which account becomes 'inactive'. --Thursday, November 30, 2006, 1:02:07 AM, you wrote to [EMAIL PROTECTED]: MF> I tried this on Paypal.com, with more than twenty consecutive incorrect MF> passwords.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Anybody else thinking 'phish'? :) Actually, no - I experienced almost precisely the same thing with an old paypal account that we'd long since lost the password to and which was associated with a dead e-mail address, and I remember experiencing something similar to that described. I don't remember precisely how much information I had to provide other than the account name. I don't know if this only works with long-idle accounts, but I do recall it being slightly odd at the time (and I checked the account was legitimately closed! Thankfully, I wasn't too shocked since the account was associated with dead bank details, anyhow..) - James. -- James (njan) Eaton-Lee | 10807960 | http://www.jeremiad.org Semper Monemus Sed Non Audiunt, Ergo Lartus - (Jean-Croix) sites: https://www.bsrf.org.uk ~ http://www.security-forums.com ca: https://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3 -- ___ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.

I tried this on Paypal.com, with more than twenty consecutive incorrect passwords. I got no such offer. What paypal site were you using, and how many unsuccessful attempts is a couple?
