On 4/22/10 I loaded $42 on my PayPal account to pay for reactivation of my Hushmail account. It was a new PayPal account that I got only to pay for the Hushmail account that had deactivated. After each step I took to pay for my expired Hushmail account to retrieve the emails, they gave me problems and asked me for all kinds of "verification." Now, after making me waste hours "verifying" myself, they have permanently closed access to my account. They will not refund my money until after 180 days.
Also, the GreenDot MoneyPak I purchased in a store had $405 on it. I chose to load only $42 of the $405 into my PayPal account in case I had any problems. However, this did not do any good, because the only way I can get any of the rest of that $400 is to load it into the first PayPal account I loaded the first funds into, for security purposes. I am sure they knew this. So they are hoping that after 180 days I will forget about the account and/or the MoneyPak so that they can keep all the money ($405) for themselves.
