Might be worth a look . . .
Recently there was a case here where Paypal deducted money from an account because a credit card payment had been reversed . . . 4 months after the trade. The seller lost the goods and the money. It turned out the fraudulent card user was the cardholders sister . . . nice work paypal.
@ Soft+gentle, who said...
many have been suggesting that mr unthank use a lawyer but he insists on representing himself and whats more he insists on representing himself according to how, in his view, the society represents itself.
This really isn't a case where a private citizen would "use a lawyer," as if it was a civil case. It is a criminal case, and a prosecution is underway. In Australia one way a criminal case can be brought to court is for a private citizen to do the investigative work, at his own expense, and take his evidence to court. Steven Unthank has done this.
Plus only one case appears to be in motion and still the police have not made any charges against the Traralgon congregation - this speaks volumes.
One case, against the Traralgon congregation? Hardly. Five separate Watchtower entities are involved here (all itemized several times in this forum) that are charged with 7 criminal counts each. That's a total of 35 criminal charges that Unthank has been successful in bringing against the Watchtower Society. There have been 4 court appearances to date, and all 35 criminal charges are still in place at this time.
I'm not saying Mr Unthank is being dishonest but I will say he is being very naive and he appears to be unable to interpret what is required legally - this is understandable as he does not have legal training.
In reality his work has been amazing. He has done what very few have done. His interpretation of the law has been exemplary.
Mr Unthank please let the state prosecutor take on the case without strings attached.
"...let the state prosecutor take on the case???" That is exactly what he has been trying to do for months now, and he will be delighted and relieved if they do.
Are you sure you have all the facts about what's been going on? Your take on the case seems to be a little skewed.
bang on cue, cedars, with one of your stock one dimensional replies to me
afraid I really cannnot stay to be an audience as I do have others things to do.
You see what I mean? One final pathetic parting shot, and off she goes into oblivion - until she notices another thread on action being taken against the Society that she feels inclined to piss on.

I have not trusted Westpac Bank for many years, I will not bank with them ever infact I will never walk into one of their branches ever, again I conseider them as a bunch of (stucn) arsholes (sorry if any one here works for them it's not personal against you).
I was warned about paypal a few years back & I still use them if I have to, but where I can I use Paymate.
Most likely WT has shares in ebay/paypal & putting pressure on them, just my guess.
Thank you Scenic Viewer! & Sizemilk

1. According to PayPal accepting their ToS (Terms of Service) in effect means youwaive your rights to credit card consumer protection laws if you want to use their service, and that you may not issue a chargeback for unauthorized use of your credit card and PayPal account, or if you do, then they have the right to limit your account. Is this legal? We don't know. But it's how Paypal operates. See my credit card waiver page for more information.
2. Their customer service is horrible. They used to hide their telephone number, (intentionally - by their own admission) and only provided support via "form" emails:
"As for the customer service, Sollitto said they intentionally make the phone number very difficult to find in order to save costs."
While I'm sure it was the not the intention of the author, the book"PayPal Wars" confirms many of the statements made by users and former employees of PayPal.
I'm sure you've seen the posts across the net for a new "company" called "greenzap.com." You might want to read my threadGreenZap.com is probably a scam before you give away your money and personal information.
User does a great job documenting PayPal's violations of the class action lawsuit settlement agreement. Read the whole thread, especially his response to PayPal's response to the AG's letter.

Man sues PayPal in small claims court and wins!
I've added some new "NoPayPal banners/logos to comply with the Ebay "88x33 rule."
WARNING #1:PayPal removes critical seller protection feature starting February.
WARNING #2: Watch your PayPal accounts for unknown items and charges. We have three threads that seem to indicate database mixups since The Great Paypal Outage of 2004. This one, where PayPal submits multiple debits or charges to your debit or charge card until the wipe out the bank account or charge limit, Here's one for an unrecognized item, and here's one of debiting someone elses bank account.

Becuase 2 accounts were closed at 2 different bank accounts - there seems to be a single actor behind this..... Who would have an ax to grind with Steve Unthank?
It's frigging amazing that paypal can do this based on nothing! How can companies do things like this in this day and age?
Shamus100: Ironic that my comments are "leaps of faith", whereas the wild and derisory speculation of soft+gentle is wholly acceptable.
Cedars,
From what I've seen of you I can make some fairly rash decisions myself. You've made a lot of leaps of faith with your comments and, truth be known, I don't give a fuck what you think.
From what I've seen of your little performance on this thread, the sentiment is more than mutual. Do I get a monkey slap for that? Or whatever the hell it is you're known for on here?
Cedars
s+g it's obvious you make claims on things you know nothing about and your manner is offensive. Now let me be offensive. Listen whinny troll....soliciting for donations is serious? Why don't you tell the WTS that along with their misleading people with their lies.
The police needed further investegation in order to move the case ahead. That's what this next hearing is all about....
Is the misspelling in this thread title a Freudian slip or what?
