I am troubled by a trend that I fear is being repeated in this thread.

Williampaid is a service designed and intended to pay a landlord for rent. For those of us who use it legitimately, it works well.

I like the service so much that I called and asked if they would also allow me to pay my mortgage, which they declined as they said they are only set up to pay landlords at this time.

For those of you who think nothing of trying to "scam" the system by substituting someone other than a landlord to avail yourselves of the service - have you no shame? This is no different than those who would also think nothing of buying a high priced item at Costco.com, charging it to a Visa card and then returning it to a store and getting a cash refund.....all in the name of collecting points and miles.

This service works well for the use it is intended for. Please do not ruin it for us by forcing them to take more restrictive measures or to raise fees because of increased overhead necessitated by people trying to use the system for a purpose other that as it was designed.
