Say someone has a paypal account and they have a website designed so that people could tip them or send donations. However the same individual has another donation page that is setup that takes donations for an event proposal that is never updated and is setup through the same paypal account which is verified as the individuals personal paypal account.

I work in the fraud industry and it sounds somewhat concerning but a lot of times people link the same PayPal accts for business purposes aka tax reasons. 2 examples.

1. You own 2 businesses and you send/receive money but want 1 login for both. You just link them both to the same PayPal.

2. If someone is trying to take advantage of the taxes in one state. Say you live in Cali and they take more money from your profits, but you also own a house in Iowa and the taxes are lower. You set everything up in Iowa.

Id have to look at it a little more to tell you how shady your situation is with that merchant.

I'm not sure about money, but there is a whole thread with expert opinions on academic fraud somewhere on here...

this sounds like one of those "i have a 'friend' who likes a girl, but doesn't know how to talk to you, i mean her" kind of situations.

Any question that starts with "Would it be, Would this be, etc" is typically answered with "Yeah probably"

When I tell girls my dong is 13 inches (but it's really only 11...and a half), can they come at me for fraud later?

My grandpa told me as a kid that an inch was about the width of your thumb. Boy did he have small hands.

Small thumbs? Not good.

When I was a kid I learned a different way, for magicians, it wasn't the size of the wand, it was the magic.

And there were the popular song lyrics, "It ain't the meat, it's the motion . . . "

Of course I wore the t-shirt I got from some of my buds after my first knee surgery, "I Choked Linda Lovelace!"

Here's another one for you, dshans :

True story : Was sitting down the basement in my dad's office, writing my senior high school paper, on his IBM Selectric Typewriter, and I had been playing a cassette mix a friend of mine had just done for me with "some of my favorites." No more than two minutes after my dad came down, and mind you, he didn't even ask me to turn my music down or off, Aerosmith's version came on. I typed away plick-plink-plink, never looking around. Not a word. Finally after the song was over, having expected some reaction (probably the worst), I turned around. I just couldn't handle it. The suspense was killing me. As our gaze met, he screwed up his face and said, "Yes I heard it, and I know what it means." I just looked back and started plinking again. I probably plinked for another half hour before he left. I still plinked for a while before I lost it and totally cracked up.
