  @RossoVermil No, Kodiak says he canceled payments, PayPal returned the money due to StarCat’s account issues, and he needed it after losing his job. Without actual donation logs or proof it was kept for profit, and Kiwi made the call not him it’s not the smoking gun you’re making it.

  Bill Gates daughter runs a shopping app that secretly took credit for sales it never made. Here's what happened: When you buy something online after clicking a link from a website or app, that website or app gets a small cut of the sale from the store, as a thank you for sending you there. It only gets that money if it actually sent you there. Phia is a shopping app made by Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and her co-founder Sophia Kianni. It tells you where to find the cheapest price and best discount codes. It has 1.2 million downloads in the last year and raised $43.5 million from investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures, and celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Khloe Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber. Bloomberg tested the app along with a researcher named Ben Edelman and a rival app called Capital One Shopping. They checked more than 50 shopping websites, including #Walmart, #Nike, and #Zara. Here is what they found. When someone was about to finish buying something, Phia's app secretly opened a hidden browser tab in the background, without the person clicking anything or asking for it. That hidden tab quietly told the store "this sale came from Phia," then closed itself within seconds. Most people never saw it happen. This means Phia could take the money back reward even if a person found the item completely on their own, or even if they clicked a link from a totally different website first. In one test, someone clicked a deal link from a Wirecutter article to buy something on Nordstrom. Phia's hidden tab quietly swapped in its own code and took the reward meant for Wirecutter instead. This trick is called cookie stuffing. It is against the rules of every major store and shopping network involved, including Walmart, eBay, and a platform called Impact(.)com. Impact(.)com has already suspended Phia's account and is now checking Phia's past sales to see how many were affected. Phia says this was a mistake in their code from December, and they fixed it within a day of being told about it. This is not Phia's first problem. Back in November, researchers found an older version of the app was secretly copying entire webpages a person visited, including bank statements and private emails, and sending that data to Phia's servers. The company said it was only trying to figure out which websites were shopping sites, and it has since changed the app to stop doing that. A similar accusation happened to PayPal's Honey app in 2024, and PayPal is still dealing with a lawsuit over it today. Phia is now facing the exact same kind of accusation, in just its first year.

  @mike18200 @ScamDetective5 Visa and Mastercard aren't connected to SWIFT's network, they're separate rails. PayPal isn't either. Name something actually plugged into SWIFT's own 11,500-bank messaging system that solves the last-mile problem SWIFT described in its own words. That's the question. Still waiting. You can name ****, but you're not actually given the connection similar to the one that I made. Just saying **** doesn't work, man. He's a Mastercard PayPal may have initiative adjacent to swift. But I'm asking how are they connected to SWIFT and SWIFT utilizing them for transaction settlement? Mastercard is actually connected to Thunes. And earlier you said that just because Thunes is being used by swift doesn't mean that they're gonna use whatever Thunes is offering. So if your name and Mastercard, you have to go about that same logic. But because you don't know what you're talking about and you're just naming ****, you're tripping up over your own statements. So going through Thunes, what is SWIFT gonna use? Mastercard or XRP? Which solves the issue that SWIFT partnered with Thunes to solve?

  @AskPayPal hi PayPal. I had setup an account during Covid when I was residing in Singapore. I cannot access my account now since my phone number has changed and it sends a text on the Singapore phone number. What can I do? I still have access to email but not working.

  @RaltsAuthor You should. You don't know me except here and our occasional communication on YouTube, but I had a friend, a dear, wonderful friend whom I miss every day. His name was Eric and he was one of the programmers of Mechwarrior 2 from Activision back in the 1990s. Before GoFundMe, before anything much other than PayPal was a going concern, when I heard about his health problems - before I even really got to know him - I wanted to help. Because I'd gotten tons of fun out of MW2, and he seemed like a decent guy. He was working on a 3d terrain generator, procedural that is, that was based on what he'd done with 3d graphics in MW2 and at that time you had to sell something to get money on PayPal so we set up a donationware download point and put a PayPal button on it. It helped he and his wife get through a drought until SSDI kicked in. Open the GoFundMe. It's not begging; there's people who care about you, bet.

  Ripple's CEO just explained why XRP exists in under 2 minutes no jargon: Venmo can't send to PayPal, even though PayPal owns Venmo. That's how broken our payment networks are. Now scale that to sending money overseas: slow, expensive, and it can vanish for weeks. Ripple's fix: sell the tech to banks worldwide. 4 second settlement, fractions of a penny, anywhere on Earth. Customers don't care it runs on XRP. They just care that it works.

  @buenasmochi It depends on the timeline of the project! Long reply, but please bear with it. I don't usually ask for updates unless a week or more has passed an agreed-upon check-in, and the artist hasn't notified me of a delay. While the ones I've commissioned are good to sticking to their schedule, sometimes uncontrollable events happen that can cause delays. However, if it's been an excessively long time since the agreed-upon check in and there's radio silence on the other end after reaching out multiple times, I'd recommend giving a notice of refunding the commission, and doing so if there's no activity after the ultimatum. Assuming this is PayPal, you lose the right to refund after 180 days / 6 months, and your money was used to pay for a service. These are business transactions, so don't be afraid to put your foot down.

  I think people are giving Phoebe Gates far less grace than they'd give almost any other first-time founder. Remember this is the same industry which is known for these dark patterns, like honey and no one here shamed the honey founders when they did it. Only a lawsuit was filed against PayPal which is the natural progression of things. Not to mention the whistleblower here was a direct competitor, Capital One so it's actually a big company bringing down a startup. Generally in such scenarios people support the startup but here it's the reverse. Its essentially that her last name has made this a much bigger story than it would have been for most founders. If Phia had been started by two unknown twenty-somethings, the conversation would probably be about a browser extension that crossed a line. Because one of the founders is Phoebe Gates, it quickly became a debate about her character. It's also easy to forget that she didn't simply inherit a company. Bill Gates didn't fund Phia. She and Sophia Kianni raised outside capital, built a team, launched a product, and convinced people to use it. Having famous parents can open doors, but it also means every mistake gets judged more harshly and every headline carries extra weight.

  Random question and probably a long shot, but I'm having issues with my bank account. Can someone PayPal me $6 until I can go to the bank tomorrow? I can send the money back in a day or so. #MutualAidThread (not sure if this is the right tag, as I've helped people out before)

  Ms Ziles… you are doing witchcraft on people and killing people. I have physical proof because you are messing with my x account. You have hacked into my computer, deleted things from my QuickBooks account locked my PayPal account and you’re fake sitting on your pedestal… you are a failed CEO and you should spend more time at your company than you do ******* with my account. I am not the person to play with because I tell you what my extended family just had two bouts of cancer. Another can can’t get their career off the ground. They’re constantly being drained and they’re constantly being targeted so I suggest you sit ******** down and shut ******** up and that’s final. Focus on your children, your company and your career because if you don’t, I will take all of it. I am not the person that needs to be humbled. I have laid low for 44 years. You are messing with people’s brains when you are the CEO of a company that deals with brains while running MK ultra on people… tread very carefully…
