1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: What's going on. I'm rich Dmiro. This is rich on Tech.

00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: You guys know that I do a live call in

00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: show on my Facebook page at facebook dot com slash

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. And here is a recent call from

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: that show.

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: My name is Elise mel Quiz. I'm calling from Flamingo Heights,

7
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: which is near twenty nine Palms Marine Base. I've been

8
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: a PayPal customer for about thirty years now, give or take,

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, my credit card through PayPal

10
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: when Synchrony Bank they're telling me that I had a

11
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: security breach, but they never notified me of how it

12
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: happened and all of that, and so now I can't

13
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: use my credit card. I've got all the bells and whistles,

14
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: and I'm not I've been I'm a PLUS certified, So

15
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: I don't understand. Shouldn't credit card companies notify the person

16
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: whose credit card is as soon as like.

17
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: A SAP, you would think, how is it breached? Did

18
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: someone use your card?

19
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: Or was it?

20
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: Like?

21
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: How is that?

22
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: That's a big question that I have. That's what's been

23
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: puzzling me all night and all day, yes, today, end today?

24
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: And how did you find out about this?

25
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: I called Uh, well, I went online because I do. Uh,

26
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: I swear by PayPal and Amazon and stuff like that,

27
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: because I don't give it. I do a lot of

28
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: online purchases, Okay, but I only do it if they

29
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: accept PayPal or Amazon.

30
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: Interesting, Okay, well, I'll be honest, I recommend the opposite.

31
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: So I personally don't really use PayPal anymore because I

32
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: don't like how they they urge you to use your

33
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: credit your your bank account versus your credit card. And yes,

34
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: you can use your credit card with them, but I

35
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: personally think that I don't like going through PayPal because

36
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: it's like a third party proxy and when you have

37
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: a problem, it's really tough to get support with PayPal

38
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: because they're a big company and it's just not to

39
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: me and my experience, it's not very good because you're

40
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: going through email and all this stuff. So personally, if

41
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm shopping online, I use a credit card that is

42
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: not a debit card. I don't like to use a

43
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: debit card online because if someone if someone gets that,

44
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: you know they have access to your entire bank account.

45
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: So personally, I would say i'd recommend ditch PayPal, use

46
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: your credit card directly online and get a credit card

47
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: that has good protection. So every credit card is different,

48
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: you know. Some of them have better protection than others.

49
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: Some of them have alerts or they'll text you if

50
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: your phone. I've got an app on my phone that

51
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: literally sends me a text every time my card is used,

52
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: so I can see the exact amount of that usage.

53
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: The other thing I do like as opposed to PayPal

54
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: is Visa Checkout. That's kind of an alternative. I like

55
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: it better because.

56
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: It's Visa checkout. Yeah.

57
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: Now, the whole I mean, yeah, the whole thing about

58
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: PayPal is I'm just not liking it. I'm not liking PayPal.

59
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm not liking Venmo. I don't like when any third

60
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: party really has access to my credit card, except I

61
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: will tell you the one I do like. I am

62
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: a fan of Samsung Pay. I'm a fan of Apple

63
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: Pay and Google Pay, and those are a little bit

64
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: different because those don't share your credit card.

65
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: Number with the services.

66
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: They actually share a one time disposable number, and that's

67
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: why it protects you more so than something like PayPal,

68
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: which I just feel like they get hacked a lot.

69
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot of fraud with PayPal. I just don't

70
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: really see the benefit of using PayPal except for the

71
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: fact that they store your information, and I just don't

72
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: I don't really see the benefit of using it to

73
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: shop online. So I say, ditch PayPal and you're When

74
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: it comes to your credit card company, not all of

75
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: them do tell you right away. And I was in

76
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: New Jersey a couple of weeks ago my card was declined.

77
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: My debit card was declined the first time I used

78
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,119
Speaker 1: it in New Jersey, and I was expecting a phone

79
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: call from my bank to say, like, Hey, what's going on.

80
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: Are you in New Jersey or what you know? Did

81
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: you make this transaction? They never called me. I had

82
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 1: to end up calling them to get my card cleared

83
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: and to figure out so I couldn't use my card

84
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: for a couple of days until I called them, And

85
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: then as soon as I did my first transaction again,

86
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: my card was declined again and I had to call

87
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 1: back again. So it really depends on your card issuer,

88
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: whether they text you or email you. I would set

89
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: up alerts when your card is used so that way

90
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: you know, but you should not at the end of

91
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: the day. You should not be liable a lease for

92
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: anything that was charged on your card. That's the bottom line.

93
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: You should not be liable for anything.

94
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: Okay, off co sign that. So the your co signing

95
00:04:59,240 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: Apple page.

96
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like I like Apple Pay.

97
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: I like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay, and

98
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: I think that.

99
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: Excuse me, what do you think about Amazon Prime because

100
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: I'm an Amazon Prime person.

101
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I love Amazon Prime. That's great. Amazon Prime

102
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: is fantastic. I highly recommend you using that. I just don't.

103
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: I don't like using Amazon Pay either. I know they've

104
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: they've done more with Amazon Pay. I don't really like

105
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: anytime I'm giving away more information than I have to

106
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: your credit card number.

107
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: I get it.

108
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: You know, you can easily cancel a credit card and

109
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: it's not your money, you know what I mean, it's

110
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: not your cash. So and I've got some folks in

111
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: here saying that. J. C. John is saying that he

112
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: if my wife and I cut up our credit cards

113
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: years ago, no cash, no buy, and I totally agree

114
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: with that. I'm on the Dave Ramsey plan. But when

115
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: it comes to online purchases, I'm not comfortable giving out

116
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: my debit card because there's been instances where they get

117
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: my money off my debit card. And then you have

118
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: to fight back for your own money and that's not fun. Yeah,

119
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: so all right, thanks so much for the call, Alice.

120
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.

121
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
