Remember my mom's recent PayPal experience? Well, as promised, the minute we got the account unfrozen for the third time in four months, we moved every penny out of it. Basically closed it. That was a month ago. We have not accessed that account since, of course. Why would we? So imagine my surprise:

I wonder what activity they were screening that prompted them to freeze it again?
