This is what I received from one of my sponsors:
'We have recently been warned by numerous people that PayPal is no longer a safe method of paying out to affiliates in large amounts. This is due to fraudulent practices by PayPal when it comes to large amounts of money, such as freezing accounts for \'fraud\' and other supposed problems in order to keep your money, and deduct from your accounts further. We are taking security measures to ensure that PayPal does not cause any disruption of our business by debiting our accounts without authorization (we have no idea why they would as we only pay out of our accounts) and we advise that all of you examine your transactions to ensure that there is no behavior that could be seen as suspicious by PayPal.
For affiliates earning in excess of $1,000 per week we strongly suggest that you change your payout method to another instant form such as wire transfer, Federal Express, or possibly Western Union. Wire transfers are 100% safe and guaranteed, and accepted internationally, and we send out many each week. Please notify us at staff@volumebrokers.com if you would like to change your payout method.
For more information on the problems with PayPal you can visit www.paypalwarning.com or do an internet search for sites dealing with PayPal problems. Please do not take these issues lightly, from this day forward we will NOT compensate any webmasters who have their PayPal accounts disabled or otherwise frozen for any reason. As we have stated we will still provide PayPal as a payment option for our webmasters, but at their own risk. However based on the statements of close associates, our own gathering of evidence, and the websites devoted to the fraudulent activity of the company, we do feel that PayPal is engaged in widespread fraud, and we do not want to see any of our affiliates fall victim to this.'
This is all true. My account has been restricted for no reason, too.
