Ok, the only thing is I am going to have to re-send this money out at the end of the FFB season and then they will be like WTF and might create tremendous problems...

Yeah but you will send it out in just one payment I assume and won't label it "FFB" so shouldn't get as much scrutiny. They probably have "ffb" and "fantasy football" set to automatically flag their security department.

Those guys don't fuck around, they will snap ban you if they see fit.

Yeah. The withdraw and send a check later is probably the best idea if you use my idea for the money coming to you. Or just win so you don't have to worry about it.

I'm thinking the best idea is to withdraw. But I have to give them a viable reason first. The I hosted it in a hotel thing might not work if they can look into our addresses and see we are all across the country. Any other ideas?

just fucking with you....

your punishment is to disclose the creative mind behind that funny...

haha ok.

that opportunity was too good to pass up

Try using amazon payment services next time, Doubt they give a shit about fantasy football. Paypa/ebayl fucking suck

Paypal doesn't like it when people "gift" money. They don't get their cut of fees when this happens.

and lie obv..and cashout / send checks

I just want to know why people put ffb in the comments.

pretty sure they cant take your money, right?

i got this same shit. I just said sorry i didnt know, i wont do it again. Then someone sent me another payment that i forgot about, and my account is still going thru bs lol
