PayPal: Steer clear of Safari

PayPal: Steer clear of Safari

So PayPal hates us Mac users. So please don't use them anymore as a Mac user. Beside getting your accounts comprised they are pointing the blame on Mac users.

My answer to them is to boycott them.

Personally I think that's all a bunch of FUD. Just use OpenDNS.

I also use OpenDNS. And I expect Safari to soon include anti-phishing technology too.

Or don't use them at all. I had money stolen by someone overseas who hacked into my PayPal account and they denied that they've ever been hacked, and the next day the proof was missing from my account. Not to mention that it took 3 or 4 irate phone calls to get them to permanently delete my acount. Idiots.

If you have to use PayPal at all, DO NOT store your bank account information in the PP account. As for me, they are never seeing me again.

I also use OpenDNS.com and have stopped using PayPal.

Now we just have to spread the word to all the Mac centric users that provide Mac services on the net to use something else then Paypal. Maybe they could use something like Google Checkout for there shareware/donation links.
