Notice that EVERY Anon twitter account is telling you that you need to close your PayPal account. Why bit.ly/mZ8Z7A

Dear PayPal, its customers, and our friends around the globe,

This is an official communique from Anonymous and Lulz Security in the name of AntiSec.

In recent weeks, we've found ourselves outraged at the FBI's willingness to arrest and threaten those who are involved in ethical, modern cyber operations. Law enforcement continues to push its ridiculous rules upon us - Anonymous "suspects" may face a fine of up to 500,000 USD with the addition of 15 years' jailtime, all for taking part in a historical activist movement. Many of the already-apprehended Anons are being charged with taking part in DDoS attacks against corrupt and greedy organizations, such as PayPal.

What the FBI needs to learn is that there is a vast difference between adding one's voice to a chorus and digital sit-in with Low Orbit Ion Cannon, and controlling a large botnet of infected computers. And yet both of these are punishable with exactly the same fine and sentence.

In addition to this horrific law enforcement incompetence, PayPal continues to withhold funds from WikiLeaks, a beacon of truth in these dark times. By simply standing up for ourselves and uniting the people, PayPal still sees it fit to wash its hands of any blame, and instead encourages and assists law enforcement to hunt down participants in the AntiSec movement.

Quite simply, we, the people, are disgusted with these injustices. We will not sit down and let ourselves be trampled upon by any corporation or government. We are not scared of you, and that is something for you to be scared of. We are not the terrorists here: you are.

We encourage anyone using PayPal to immediately close their accounts and consider an alternative. The first step to being truly free is not putting one's trust into a company that freezes accounts when it feels like, or when it is pressured by the U.S. government. PayPal's willingness to fold to legislation should be proof enough that they don't deserve the customers they get. They do not deserve your business, and they do not deserve your respect.

Join us in our latest operation against PayPal - tweet pictures of your account closure, tell us on IRC, spread the word. Anonymous has become a powerful channel of information, and unlike the governments of the world, we are here to fight for you. Always.

Signed, your allies,

Lulz Security (unvanned)
Anonymous (unknown)
AntiSec (untouchable)

Anon has been hitting everything lately. Instead of trying to arrest these people companies need to beef up there security.

[PornMaster]

Well if these guys are able to hack into large corporations, you can be sure they will be able to retrieve any deleted information.

It won't let me remove my bank info, says there is a pending transaction in process.

:(

Edit Edit: Also my bank account information that I can find doesn't match what they want, so can't remove or change a bunch of details OR close the account. The account number on my statement doesn't match.

I put Anon ordered me to as the reason. :fuckyea:

Yeah, my sister is having the same problem too with no transactions pending though.

[CorneringArtist]

Bank info removal should be under the add/edit bank account menu.

[FishTaco]

So they are taking all the money in peoples accounts and donating it to charity?

[twitchyzero]

are you guys actually closing down your account? I just removed my CC info..hope that's good enough.

Would they let you sign up for another account down the road with the same cc?

[Riddle]

Closed my account. Thanks for the heads up.

I don't. But I have an expired CC (expired last month) that I can't remove because it says authorization is still pending (WTF)

oh well...all they should have is my address.

[Nightwalker]

It's possibly a social engineering game, getting everyone to panic and drop their PayPal accounts.

I had nothing in mine and haven't used it for jack all in forever so closing it would be no problem for me..... if I were able to.

[TOS'd]

Can only close by phone now apparently.

[chin3se604]

ahh gotta transfer money to bank account

[butter_sashimi]

Correct me if I'm wrong-- They are trying to get people to close their accounts. It didnt say a hack was planned in Anon's actual statement.

[Riddle]

Haha Paypal has removed the answer to "How to close my Paypal account?"

It's safe to say that thousands of people will have closed their accounts by tomorrow morning.

[FishTaco]

i have US funds in my account and right now is the highest the CDN$ has been in a long time. Stupid exchange rate. FML.

Taking screen shot in case my account changes and Paypal can give me my money back.

[illicitstylz]

ty. CC removed. hope nothing actually happens.

[Leetastic]

lol already dried up my paypal balance and my bank account last week... fucking miata, but yeah it feels like just another chain mail style warning

[duy-]

just reopened my account today, gotta buy something from the states. im sure my credit card company will understand that i didnt mean to send x amount of money to some charity company. they do cover you in case your credit card gets stolen so i dont see the need to close my accounts, stock on on toilet paper and wait for fireballs to destroy the world?

[Ronin]

I'm going to keep my open just so I can join the class action lawsuit when these guys get caught.

We're not in much danger. It's like robbing a bank. Our money isn't in danger...only the bank's.

[Razor Ramon HG]

This account cannot be closed until the funds transfer from your bank account is completed.

#opPAYPAL is a protest of people closing their accounts not an attack! Repeat NOT ASN ATTACK! stop saying that

- apparently its only a boycott of paypal, no where in their message to paypal do they consider an attack. - due to paypal freezing wikileak's account

"We encourage anyone using PayPal to immediately close their accounts and consider an alternative. The first step to being truly free is not putting one's trust into a company that freezes accounts when it feels like, or when it is pressured by the U.S. government.

[Limitless]

I believe Paypal keeps your credit card and bank information in their database even after you delete them

[LsquareD]

CC removed just in case...

I'm laughing at all the people who panicked and closed there accounts.

[Mr.HappySilp]

Haven't used paypal in ages. I had an issue with them I think about a year ago where I sell my WoW acct on paypal, buyer even select the no refund options so I got the money in paypal transfer it to my bank account and then give the info to the buyer.

Buyer then issue an chrage back claiming the Paypal acct was hack lol. Good thing my bank call me about this when Paypal try to take money out of my acct. So I cancel that bank acct and open a new one.

The people at paypal threaten to report this to my credit report. I simply hung up on them. Never dealing with those clowns again.

Tons of online store now expect your credit card info without paypal anyways so that's where I shop now.

[ghosty]

done and done :megusta:

LOL why worry.

There are chargebacks for a reason.

[CRS]

:fuckthatshit:

No need to close down. By removing your CC, you should have no worries.

Unless your bank account is tied to paypal.

[tool001]

Lol @ people closing acc, removing cc info, u guys do know that if they (paypal) have ur cc on file , it stays on file and doesn"t get purged once u remove c card?? Transaction history details, card no. Stay on & if anon hits those files, they will have info regardless if u close ac or remove files!

Not gonna bother closing my account but I'll remove my CC info anyways, if spending 5 secs to remove my card info might give me a small chance of going through the hassle of getting my shiet jacked then I'll take it.

[SkinnyPupp]

To those who closed your accounts, you just involuntarily participated in a "boycott" by basically being bullied into it. Anon is claiming 25K people have "boycotted" paypal, and the only way you can close accounts now is to do it by phone.

[noTirl]

Im not gonna care. You know why? Because ANY unauthorized transactions on your credit card or bank account can be refunded. And with Online Banking, I can see all transactions done within a few days on CC, and immediately in bank acc. Buying stuff on ebay is so convenient with paypal, so I'm just gonna keep it the way it is for the sake that I will decide to buy something stupid tomorrow. Meh. Enough said. Hack me Anon.

dont you guys understand 'better safe than sorry'?

of course there's chargebacks...but why go through the hassle of all that when you can easily remove your CC with a few clicks. Sounds faster than calling in and letting them take a few weeks to investigate.

[shenmecar]

If you are so afraid of your financial security, you might as well keep all your cash at home. Just in case the bank goes bankrupt.

You can even be super ghetto and put it inside an old cookie tin. =P
