--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear ........ ,
PayPal is constantly working to ensure security by regularly screening the accounts in our system. We recently reviewed your account, and we need more information to help us provide you with a secure service. Until we can collect this information, your access to your account features will be restricted. We would like to restore your access as soon as possible, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is my account access restricted?
Your account access has been restricted for the following reason(s):
· 1. Feb. 2010: A recent review of your account determined that we require some additional information from you in order to provide you with a secure service.
(Your case ID for this reason is PP-381-133-271.)
· 2. Feb. 2010: We have reason to believe that your account was accessed by a third party as different computers have logged into your PayPal account and multiple password failures where presented before the logons. We now need you to re-confirm your account information to us. We understand that having restricted access can be an inconvenience, but protecting your account is our primary concern.
(Your case ID for this reason is PP-381-133-271.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
How can I restore my account access?
Please visit the link below, log into your account and complete the secure verification form:
--link removed--
If this is not completed by February 28, 2010, we will be forced to suspend your account indefinitely, as it may have been used for fraudulent purposes. We thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Thank you for your patience,
PayPal Customer Service
Please do not reply to this email. This mailbox is not monitored and you will not receive a response.
MFG from Germany!

What you do is contact them and sort it out.
Happened to me even though it was a false alarm.

These kind of mails are being send daily by scammers.
It is a known technique called fishing.
NEVER, and I mean NEVER click on a link to your bank/paypal/ebay/etc from an email certainly when it is a message like this.
account suspended, or even a false "you have bought item blabla", all these messages where designed to make the reader be concerned regarding their account, and thus follow the link and logging into a fake site.
Typing the address manually is always the safest bet.
Use one e-mail specific only for banking business like paypal, and for nothing else (not for forums etc..), never publish it on the web.
(what is unknown can not be spammed or scammed)

Free Exchange Mail Service W/ Push Email And Active Sync

Free exchange mail service for your pocket pc with Outlook Web Access
I run an exchange server and I am welcoming pocketpc users that are in need of an exchange account to activesync with. This service also offers Direct Push for those of you that have have this on your PocketPC.
Its totally free and has outlook web access, to sign-up simply visit http://www.port88.org/signup.php and I'll set you up.
If you are intrested in other services or want more information, check out http://www.port88.org
This is something I do in my spare time for fun, so it may take me 24 hours before I get you set up. But being a Wizard/MDA user myself, I have found this to be a great tool.
Obviously all this cost money, and lots of it. I have had a few people donate to the cause which has been a great help. But some users ask me for special features that I normally would not offer to a basic user. Well the solution is simple, if more people donate (even a small ammount) I will be able to upgrade the server with more space and better processing power, and in turn more services will be free for everyone to use.
So if you like the service and feel that you can contribute, please send paypal payments to [email protected]
If you think you can donate in other ways (I currently looking for a forum site to be set up), please send me an email!
Keep our community growing, join today!
Thank you for your patience.

i need someone to set up a form that takes the persons first and last name, origin (country and state) prefered username and dob and then a dropdown box with the type of service they want. then that would post to a DB (mysql) using PHP and also send me and email with the info as well as a confirmation email to the person sending the request.
so do you think you could help me out??
Thanks!
Wanted to thank everyone that has donated, I am close to getting the RCP over HTTP working so we can all use out desktop outlook as well as OWA with our mobile devices.
Keep those registrations coming!

Are you still offering this service?

who wants Exchange 2007 hosting?

If you are interested in using Exchange 2007 for your mobile device, I have one available. It is for my consulting business and I am only using 1 of the 100 CAL's that are installed. For a small donation, I will let honest people use it. I would require the following info.
First Name:
Last Name or Initial:
E-Mail address requested: [email protected]
Alias: [email protected]
Password: (must contain letters, numbers and special characters)
The server itself is in a datacenter with reduntant power and network.
It has a UCC cert and autodiscover services are working perfect.
Since I use it for my business the uptime will be in at least the 4 nines.
Just send me a PM if interested.
While this sounds great, there are some concerns that I would have as outlined below. None of this is personal btw.
a.) Backups, how would this be handled
b.) Security, how do I know as an admin your not attaching to mailboxes or journaling them and reading through private information?
c.) Anti Virus, how is the server protected to keep my data safe
d.) Anti Spam, this is easy since you can implement the built in Anti Spam services on a Hub Transport server. However how would an end user control this?
e.) SSL Certificate is cheap through Go Daddy, you could offset this cost with your user donations. That way there is no need to import an self signed cert.
f.) Up time, where is the server located? in a Data Center or your garage?
g.) domains, would you support users as [email protected] or would you allow users to point their MX records at your IP while adding smtp aliases to the AD user accounts?
I'm sure there are others, and again this is in no way a personal attack as I think offering this for little cost is a very nice thing to offer. It however could wind up being a hand full if enough users decide to accept.

I am thinking about opening up my exchange 2007 server to users here that would be interested in the service. after trying places like mail2web and other types of hosting services, i realized i could do the same thing for myself and have total control. trouble is, now i have this massive server to sync my device all by itself...
if anyone would be insterested in syncing with an exchange 2007 server, let me know. I wanted to get some initial feedback from users to see if it was even worth it.
I was thinking of a donation type system to offset the licensing cost...(which i get for dirt cheap since I can piggy back off one of major customers...it is about $16 per user...)
i could offer active sync, rpc over http and owa...
i do not want to buy a third party cert, so my microsoft issued cert would need to be installed on your device (it means you have to double click on a .cer file)
i did not configure autodiscovery services, so rpc over http would need to be configured manually. (very simple)
i could also offer outlook 2007 for a very small fee (since i did not configure rpc over http for outlook 2003 use)
just send me an email and tell me if you are interested. I am thinking if I get enough people, i will open it up for the great people here at xda forums..

all very good questions and i will answer them as best as possible.
a.) the backups are handled at the disk layer, they are mirrored. If corruption would occur, the server would get rebuilt. as a very cheap service offering, you get what you pay for. That said, since i personally use this server and my customers contact me via it, if it goes down, i may not get paid. therefore, its availbilty is very important.
b.) you don't, but i won't
c.) trend micro does it on the server, your desktop client would do the rest.
d.) the exchange server spam level is set to level 5. I have never had a false postitive
e.) there is a UCC cert.
f.) datacenter. also, see answer a. uptime = pay to me.
g.) i would allow default from address to be what ever you wanted. i will not host your personal domain. That is another type of service i am not offering.
i have now installed a UCC cert and autodiscovery is working perfectly.
anyone insterested just send me the following info;
First Name:
Last Name or Initial:
E-Mail address requested: [email protected]
Alias: [email protected]
Password: (must contain letters, numbers and special characters)
I only ask for a small donation. anything helps. thanks.
You could also try www.nuevasync.com with Google Calendar / Contacts, and use IMAP for email. It's isn't push, but works pretty well nonetheless. Plus, you don't have to administer it yourself.

If you look up accounts in your setting I believe you can add another email to your phone.
Not sure if you can change it totally without loosing info.
If you're just worried about the email address, I think you can change the address associated with a given Microsoft account. You can also just stop synching email on the current account and add the other account as a normal email account (as opposed to the phone's primary Microsoft account), if you *really* only care about email.
Otherwise, though, I'm not sure if you have any good options. On WP7, your purchases and such were attached to your Zune Tag / Xbox Live Gamertag (same thing) and you could move those between accounts, then hard-reset the phone and set it up with the "new" account to have access to all your old games. It *probably* works the same for WP8, but I can't promise that.
This kind of DRM bull**** is one of the reasons I don't "buy" apps if I can help it. If you actually owned a copy of the app, you could just re-install it on your own device after changing the primary ID no problem... Same goes for Steam and such, of course.

I received error,tried with a new alias(same error), so i had to make new e-mail address(outlook.com)..Few days ago, i reseted my phone to factory settings, then i tried for curiosity if my first e-mail work and worked .Now i want to move apps/games to old e-mail address hotmail.com (or merge e-mail addresses).but i can't..I know that in wp7 you could change in registry something( i read somewhere )...
I can change gamertag for free(first time),but e-mail address no.I've been talked with support but they didn't helped me. They gived me a free t-shirt for xbox avatar.....I think there is no other option..just buy again apps/games in old e-mail address.

I believe that if you go to live.com and log in, there is an option under accounts to link different addresses to your account, as well as set the primary. As I remember, would be able to use any/all of those to log in. I had this issue before when I set up a new email. Only problem I had after that was my phones address and the primary weren't the same and FB chat through the native messenger app would not work. I reset the primary and no issues after that. Try it and let us know.

I said that you can add other addresses that will link to whatever you use for your Live.com account.

App for Database question

I am a student and I have a project to create a app for reservation . My question is how to show the data according to my database.
Like a student login his account and how to show his profile information according to the database.
Is there any coding to add it to scrape the data from the database and show it on my application?
And I use the SQLiteDatabase for my database.
please some body help me... Thank you
Divide your work into steps, that is:
1. If you are keeping a database in a website then there should be a piece of code on the website which takes requests in form of username and password, and returns the data.
2. If you can't do this but the data is on the internet then the unsafe way would be to download the whole database and then authenticate and search using client side code (security experts will want to murder you, though).
3. If you are going to populate the data from scratch only using your application, then Firebase by Google is a good and free solution for student level apps. Here you can have the data on Google's servers and request the data using user-password authentication. This is very safe method.
If you decide to use Sql, the typical unsafe query would be similar to querying using WHERE command wherein the parameters are username and password. But that should only be done on your website, and not on the client.

[HELP] Create a Task That Requests a Payment Via Google Pay

Hi all! I'm new to Tasker, and I'm hoping to use it to initiate a payment request through Google Pay, hopefully using the Android Messages app.
Here's my situation: I have auto-pay set up for Netflix, and since I'll often forget to collect the portion of the bill that is supposed to be covered by the other users of my account, I want to create a task that will operate on these rules: If I receive a Netflix auto-pay notification, then send a Google Pay request to the other users of my Netflix account. The "if" side of the equation is easy, it's the "then" side that I'm having a hard time figuring out. I know Tasker can send SMS messages, so I'm hoping there's a way to let Tasker use the Google Pay features built into Android Messages.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!
While a Google Pay request is preferred, I would also be happy with making a Venmo request. I know PayPal has a REST API, but using it in a live environment requires a Premium or Business account.
