PayPal is a trusted brand and has been a popular choice for decades. It's considered very secure. I have been a very satisfied customer of PayPal for more than two decades now. PayPal is very strict and it just bans the account if it finds something suspicious or fishy. Many have complaints about their strict policy and quick banning of accounts in case of slight suspicion. It's hard to believe that something like this would have actually happened. This would jeopardize the brand and it's reputation.
