Ways to donate - Paypal fraud scares me!

Hello,

 

I have just installed CCleaner. Since it is a Crap Cleaner, I it should really remove my complete Windows XP installation :D

 

Seriously, If it works as good as it seems to, I would be happy to donate, but NOT Via PayPal !!!!

 

I have used PayPal once, and had several hard to detect fraud attempts. I cancelled my PayPal account and will NEVER use it again.

 

Support Visa , Mastercard or Eurocard, and I will donate.

 

I suspect a lot of other people feel the same way: Might be a way to get a lot more cash from your hard work !

Well, fraud is everywhere. And I heard bad things about PayPal a couple of times.

 

Be sure to always connect to such sites with a SSL, a secured HTTP connection (https://). Pay attention to that the SSL certificate is valid. Besure that it is the correct website and the domain is spelled out manually and correctly. When you recieve the email lookup the headers to be sure that it originates from the site it should and becareful for forged emails.

Well, in the case of PayPal, I received messages to renvew my account that looked legitimate: However, they turned out to be fraud attempts. I never answered those mails, and later read about the fraud that caught quite a few people.

 

In the case of Visa or Mastercard, you won't see things like this; I have been using Visa for more than 10 years without a problem. AND, should anybody abuse your Visa or Mastercard account, Visa / Mastercard will cover your losses. Not so with PayPal.

 

No more PayPal for me, that's for sure.
