Green Dot Moneypaks and Paypal?

[ragingazn628]

Hey guys,

I was trading BTC for Moneypaks yesterday and received this message:

Due to prior negative activity with PayPal or Green Dot you will no longer be able to fund this PayPal account using a MoneyPak. We will send you a refund for this MoneyPak. The following information is required to send your refund.

MoneyPak Refund Confirmation

Your refund request has been received. Please allow 7-10 days for your refund check to arrive in the mail. Thank you for your interest in Green Dot.

Your feedback is very important to us! We invite you to take a short survey now where you can share your thoughts about MoneyPak and let us know how we're doing.

I thought the limit was reached on my account but I foolishly tried my friend's account on the same IP and got the same message (he's never loaded moneypaks before).

How can I fix this?

If they are tying it to your IP address, then you need to see if you can trigger an IP change from your ISP.  Sometimes rebooting/resetting the modem will do that.  Depends on the ISP.  Mine has had the same IP address for over a year now.  I've powered off the modem, reset it, etc and no change.  But that could be different for yours.

Otherwise, it might be time to start using a VPN service.

Are you able to load moneypaks now? I wish I don't run into this if I load too much MPs.

Since I was loading MP in my paypal recently, I just started to get this message. Right when I thought this might be scary I got the msg. Strange!

I wouldn't continue trying, I got a message a while back that said if i did continue to try that my account would be suspended.

Moneypak has had a few large scams attached to it the pass couple years. Not just with bitcoin either. The Nigerians are using it and possible screwing it up for everyone else.

Weird paypal is separating itself from a scam as it's a scam all in itself.
