Several weeks ago something happened with my paypal account. They was claiming irregular use of my account and decided to block it until I send city released papers about me.
I've tried to get more informations from paypal about the very nature of irregular use, but they have not revealed anything simply sticking to repeat that something went wrong and, of course, being them so concerned about my very own security, they blocked near everything. After sending a city issued paper, everything come back to order. But still no info.
I've two answers, which one is the right one, I still don't know.
First answer: they where just trying to be sure that I was the one I was claiming to be. So they used a little trick to force me sending some papers.
Second answer: I was using tor to navigate anonymously. May be paypal did not consider tor as a an accepted tool of modern Internet life because of money being involved. Tor is basically a tool to navigate without being traced by the other peer and anyone being finger tapping the network in between. But, as you already may know, privacy is no value while money are involved.
I don't which one is true. But what's worse, I even don't know which one is better.
