Reporting Fraud with eBay and PayPal should be Easy
This article focuses on the problems caused by phishing e-mail messages from PayPal Inc. An Internet user who, by trying to do a good turn for PayPal, ended up spending several minutes of his time trying to figure out how to report a phishing e-mail message. PayPal was injured by the phishing scam in three ways. First, the phishers fraudulently took PayPal's name and masqueraded as a legitimate recipient, and likely succeeded in fooling at least a few unsuspecting users. The second cut was that PayPal incurred insurance costs when the phishers succeeded. And finally, the company churned up unearned ill will on the part of a good Samaritan who felt unnecessarily burdened by PayPal's fraud-reporting system.
eBay Interview
During my interview, I felt prepared upon the questions that were coming at me. I felt this way because I have experienced eBay for the past 4 years. I was being asked what I have sold/bought on the site. I also was asked if everything went well in transaction.
I felt that I can talk hours and hours about the topic and I knew everything and every answer that was being targeted at me. I felt like nothing was new to me and that I was basically explaining to someone the ideas that they can do and think about. The person that was interviewing me knew what eBay was but had no clue what all the rules and such were. I, myself still do not know the rules, therefore I have to do some research. The only reason why I felt like I could talk hours about it was because the person that interviewed me didn't know too much about it. I was basically filling him in on the information.
