[OT] Paypal

Hi All,

I like PayPal. It is a painless way to send money to someone else.

Checks are BAD! The little numbers printed on the bottom of the check
is your account number. An unscrupulous seller could print checks with
YOUR account number on them and cash them, and YOU have to convince the
bank to put the money back into your account. If you give someone your
credit card number, they can do basically the same thing with it
(though it is somewhat harder)...

I have given PayPal my credit card number, so all a hacker can steal
is that number. I will not give them a bank account number, because
that would give a hacker access to MY money.
