  @RBI @bankofbaroda It's been 12 days since I reported a 3DS authentication issue preventing my debit card from being added to Upwork and PayPal. No resolution or update has been provided. Kindly resolve this issue as soon as possible. #BankOfBaroda #CustomerCare #DebitCard

  Initiated the withdraw request. BuyMeACoffee takes huge cut from this money. Platform fee: 5% Payment processing fees: typically around 2.9% + 0.30% per transaction. Fix transaction fee: $2 ( sum of fees per tips / donation received ) So, in my case $15 - $3.19 = $11.81 that's what I will get. PayPal charges little less that Buy Me a Coffee. So PayPal is best.

  South Carolina, Angela T. Kohl, the 55-year-old Georgetown woman who served as the trusted executive director, sole paid staffer, and bookkeeper of Kids’ Chance of South Carolina, is accused of systematically looting more than $118,000 from a charity whose entire purpose is putting kids through college or trade school after their parents were killed or permanently disabled on the job. Investigators say that over an 18-month stretch she made dozens of transfers from the nonprofit’s accounts straight into her personal PayPal while working from home. When the board finally noticed the missing money and confronted her, she claimed she knew nothing about it. A few weeks later she resigned, citing vague “health reasons.” Georgetown County Sheriff Carter Weaver’s office then audited the books, found the trail of transfers, and arrested her Friday on charges of breach of trust with fraudulent intent (over $10,000) and first-degree computer crime. This is not some abstract accounting dispute. Kids’ Chance of South Carolina exists to help children who already lost a parent to a workplace tragedy. Donors, lawyers, insurance carriers, employers, ordinary people, gave money specifically so those kids could go to school. Kohl, the person they trusted to manage those funds, is alleged to have treated the account like her personal ATM. If the allegations hold, this is one of the colder betrayals imaginable, pocketing scholarship money meant for orphans and half-orphans of dead and broken workers, then feigning ignorance and walking away citing “health.” There is no softer way to say it.

  @maldives_lexi Because she was the oversight. Angela Kohl wasn’t just the bookkeeper, she was the sole paid staffer, the executive director, and the person with total control of the accounts, working from home. No second set of eyes. No dual-signature requirement. No independent monthly review by the board. Just one person with the login credentials to a charity whose entire reason for existing is to help kids who already lost a parent. That’s how $118k quietly walks out the door over 18 months into a personal PayPal. When the only person “watching the books” is the one emptying them, “oversight” is just a word on a form.

  Rejected: PayPal's board just said no to a $53B buyout offer at a 28% premium Stripe and Advent International, with Block contributing part of a combined $17B in equity, offered $60.50 per share for PayPal, valuing it above $53B, a 28% premium to PayPal's July 14 closing price. Roughly $50B in bank financing backed the bid. PayPal's board rejected the offer about five days later as inadequate, reportedly holding out for closer to $70 a share, with talks said to be continuing. The structure would have kept PayPal intact, with Stripe and Advent owning it on an equal basis. PayPal's market cap had fallen to roughly $36B this year, down nearly 90% from its 2021 peak near $360B. This is a live negotiation, not a completed deal. Stripe buying PayPal would combine two of the largest payment networks in the world, but a rejected opening bid is a normal stage in a process that could take weeks to resolve, or fall apart entirely.

  If you're trying to get the Holostars EN M&G Online tickets, some things I ran into. - They give the list of all the boys, but the application button is the red one underneat all them. - If there are spaces or hyphens in your credit card number, you might get errors when submitting payment. - I had trouble getting my VISA Debit to work but my Mastercard-that-is-actually-Paypal worked.

  ChatGPT Has Become One of the Top 10 Brands Most Frequently Impersonated in Phishing Attacks Researchers say the rapid adoption of the service has made the OpenAI brand an attractive lure for stealing users’ payment information and account credentials. According to Check Point’s Brand Phishing Report for the second quarter of 2026, OpenAI now accounts for 1.1% of all recorded brand phishing campaigns. The company has entered the top 10 most impersonated brands for the first time, joining the likes of PayPal, WhatsApp, and Facebook. Just a few years ago, most phishing attacks revolved around Microsoft and Facebook. Cybercriminals routinely abused the popularity of Windows and social media platforms, but with the rise of generative AI, they have quickly shifted their tactics. Today, OpenAI users are increasingly becoming the target of these scams. Despite ChatGPT’s debut in the rankings, Microsoft remains the most impersonated brand, accounting for 23% of all phishing campaigns. It is followed by LinkedIn, Google, Apple, and Amazon. Together, these five brands are used in more than half of all brand phishing attacks, highlighting how heavily cybercriminals concentrate on the world’s most popular digital services. One of the most common campaigns involves fake ChatGPT Plus payment emails. Victims receive messages claiming that their subscription payment has failed, with emails carefully designed to mimic OpenAI’s branding and legitimate payment notifications. Users who click the embedded link are redirected to a fraudulent payment page, where they are prompted to re-enter their credit card details. Any information submitted is immediately captured by the attackers. “As AI tools evolve from a novelty into an everyday habit, they become just as attractive a target as any bank or major technology company.” Researchers note that these attacks rely heavily on psychological pressure. Fraudsters attempt to create a sense of urgency through fake payment failures, security alerts, or account suspension warnings, pushing victims to click links without thinking. Security experts recommend never accessing OpenAI through links included in emails. Instead, users should manually type the official website address into their browser and verify their account directly. They also advise watching for common warning signs, including distorted logos, broken buttons, suspicious domain names, fake social media links, and unusual sender addresses. Even if an email looks convincing, it should never be assumed to be genuine. Researchers further recommend enabling multi-factor authentication. Even if a password is stolen, it can provide an additional layer of protection that prevents attackers from gaining access to an account. Ironically, artificial intelligence itself is now helping cybercriminals produce increasingly polished and convincing phishing emails at scale, making fraudulent messages harder than ever to distinguish from legitimate ones. If an email or message raises even the slightest suspicion, the safest approach is to visit OpenAI’s official website directly rather than following any links included in the message.

  After PayPal, Elon Musk could have started another internet company. He says it would have been easy. The internet already had plenty of talented founders and plenty of capital. In his view, one more internet company would not make him especially useful. So he moved toward the two problems he thought could have a bigger effect on the world: sustainable energy and space exploration. It is a brutal filter for choosing what to work on. Forget which market looks easiest. Ask where your effort could make a difference that would otherwise be missing.

  @mitchellvii I lost my PayPal card because I never use it. My credit score went down one point, came back up again. I stopped using because I use Apple wallet. Also the way PayPal bills, if you do use it, is ridiculous. It is easy to forget or overlook. To me, it was just unnecessary bill to remember. I don’t miss it.
