That was supposed to say "Anti-Phishing Protection."

We realized that our strategy was based on preventing financial loss in the victim’s account – long after the original phishing email had duped its victim.

Bovine excrement. If they really cared about the victim's account, they would not have denied my wife's claim for the last time last night regarding a seller that shipped only half of her order and is nowhere to be found anymore. An order placed and paid for in early February. Seems that since she did recieve half the order, they will do nothing to help recover half the amount paid.

Jerks.

Off my soapbox.

I do not believe Paypal covers you if you recieve anything from the seller, even an empty envelope.
