    let’s hope so.

    somebody used my email address to order stuff from temu. the only reason I know about this is because paypal sent me a notice saying they were tracking my order.

    fortunately for me, my paypal information (other than my email) wasn’t breached. after I notified paypal they told me they would monitor my account for suspicious activity and they hadn’t noticed any. and as it turns out neither was my email. I’ve got 2fa turned on and never got a suspicious notification.

    if it’s that easy to use any email to order stuff these companies are showing they have no security and need to go.

      That’s not specific to shitty suspicious marketplaces. Fucking Chase Bank allowed some fucker to use my E-mail address with no verification. I didn’t have any idea until I started getting emails about this asshole’s mortgage. They won’t do a damned thing about it, either.
