Well, for what it's worth, I came home today after being in the hospital for
4 days and found Paypal had closed down my account because of a suspicious
transaction for $250.

It was marked Voipjet.  So, it's certainly not just Kim that has had this
happen.  Whether or not it's really Voipjet or someone posing as Voipjet
remains to be seen.

I'm not posting this to corroborate Kim's experience.  Rather, I want people
knowing there may be an issue with scammers posing as ITSPs.

Best to all

Tom

Paypal does have a "preapproved vendor" type of thing but the account
holder has to approve that. It would be used for automatically paying
things like a monthly hosting fee. Voipjet does not use that method. I
went most of the way through the "prepay $250" procedure on my voipjet
account to be sure of that before responding to the OP.

Also note that you can login to paypal and cancel a preapproved vendor
arrangement anytime before they take more money. It's not like giving
someone a credit card and then they "accidentally" charge you again
after you cancel service.
