No lah.. that wasn’t what the person in the other end said to me. Let me backtrack a little..
I received a phone call sometime after lunch this afternoon from an unknown number (+86…). I had thought of rejecting it, since I don’t like to pick unknown numbers’ calls, but I thought, ok I’ll pick up just this once lah.
And guess who was on the other end..
Somebody from Paypal!
I was like, “Errr.. hi, yes?”. And then the lady asked for a confirmation on whether I had made any withdrawals today (which I did), and the amount (which I told her). She also asked again where I got my payments from, so I told her lah about the blogging thingy (in summary of course). And she just said “Okay Jacquelin. That’s all. Thank you and have a nice day.”
And after hanging up, I thought, OMG, is my account being scrutinized now? I didn’t even withdraw a large amount summore! To those of you who have a Paypal account as well, you guys ever encountered this incident as well? I haven’t read anything about this before..

Uhm, why did PayPal phone you out of China (+86)? How did they prove that they indeed were from Paypal and not some scammers who picked up bits of info about you online? I thought Paypal’s new regional office was in Singapore…

Hey…
Was it really Paypal? It really sounds suspicious to me…

Jaco, Paypal also has a branch in China right? And I don’t think it was a scam lah (positive thinking hehe..), becuz if it was one, I’m not sure how they would be getting my money anyway, as I didn’t even reveal anything about my account details (just the amount, and how I got the money). I’ll just cross my fingers and just wish for the best for my account lah :)
