I'll go one better. Back in the day, I needed to send money back to the UK on a monthly basis as payments towards my child. The simplest way was for my Ex (Childs mum in UK) and myself to both open paypal accounts and use them.
The only email I had at the time, was an email from my wifes sites URL. It wasn't me@XXHotFilthyFuckSluts... But simply Bill (My name) @her-legal-name. I didn't really want to create a seperate hotmail or AOL account (Which were all that were available at the time) as I didn't truly trust the security of the free accounts back then, and felt as secure as I could regarding the email I was using.
So, first amount of a five hundred dollars sent and received perfectly
2nd month, same again, so I loaded up about 2000 so I didn't have to keep doing it, and before I could send another payment, I got a notice from paypal saying I was using my account for 'adult transactions' and they had closed it and kept the money!
They 'decided' that as the email was 'bill' I was billing from an adult site. I pointed out that I was SENDING not RECEIVING and it was for welfare payments for a child that I was responsible financially back in the UK... They would not listen to a word I said, as they were right and I was wrong. THE END. No Discussions...
No. Dead end - Never saw that money ever again. Cunts.
