All About PayPal the Online Pseudo Bank – It’s How You Get Paid !

PayPal, an eBay property, is no doubt the preferred way by those in the know to pay and get paid online with the best of convenience, simplicity, power options, and security. PayPal is not exactly an online bank but not exactly just a simple online payment processor. PayPal members can choose among a myriad of options, bells, and whistles when it comes to sending and receiving payments online.

Most all legitimate and popular get paid to (GPT) sites (with few exceptions) offer PayPal as a premier cash out / withdrawal option. Many of the best, most modern GPT sites even offer to pay you via PayPal instantly which means that you’ll be receiving your PayPal deposit from them anywhere from one to fifteen minutes flat!

Instant PayPal with no minimum cash out GPTs coupled with a premier or business PayPal account linked to a (optionally available after some time with an account in good standing – the option to apply will appear when “it’s time”) PayPal Debit Card (“Get cash from your PayPal account or any ATM or use it anywhere MasterCard is accepted.“) make the ideal combination of convenience, simplicity, and speed in getting paid (truly instant gratification!) The PayPal Debit Card can be used just like most any other debit card issued by a brick-and-mortar bank at stores (online and offline) along with cash back if desired and at ATMs for an instant cash fix.

PayPal is the safer, easier way to pay and get paid online. The service allows anyone to pay in any way they prefer, including through credit cards, bank accounts, buyer credit or account balances, without sharing financial information.

PayPal has quickly become a global leader in online payment solutions with more than 153 million accounts worldwide. Available in 190 markets and 24 currencies around the world, PayPal enables global ecommerce by making payments possible across different locations, currencies, and languages.

PayPal has received more than 20 awards for excellence from the internet industry and the business community -most recently the 2006 Webby Award for Best Financial Services Site and the 2006 Webby People’s Voice Award for Best Financial Services Site.

Located in San Jose, California, PayPal was founded in 1998 and was acquired by eBay in 2002.

Gamevance, Let the Sucker beware ! Malware Alert !

Gamevance, a wildly popular offer on GPT / survey sites has emerged to show its true colors. Offer site members are urged to download docile sounding video games to earn pennies only to discover after the fact that these downloads contain some pretty apparently deliberately nasty code which has the potential to be an annoyance in the least while packing a good punch while bringing your system security to its knees with a compromising payload of malware carrying out an unstated agenda.

I, myself, (a seasoned IT professional) recently had the unfortunate luck to discover that these seemingly harmless downloads disguised deliberately as an elaborate ruse to apparently 1) spy on your internet activities while giving the source a play-by-play of all your internet secrets at will (to what extent? Unknown by me at this time), 2) conspire to divert legitimate browser commands while redirecting the viewer to the web site of the source’s best and most lucrative profit based choice (damn free will), and 3) illegally install software that effectively yields any and all established personal / business administration system security measures useless in the face of complete dominance of the victim’s PC by means of a 100% complete and final hijack (root kit) of the victim system!
