Had an actual PayPal purchase from Plastic Jungle (PJ)site declined. I had bought 5 $100.00 GCs in a row. All different amounts, due to discounts on PJ. I didn't want them shipped together so I purchased them separately. The 6th one was declined. My mobile phone rang immediately from the fraud department. After trying to explain to Achmed what I was doing, I spoke to a supervisor who apologized for the problem. It was cleared right away. I thought it was funny. I had a very large purchase and put 25% down on Am Ex, it goes right through and a $100.00 GC causes a fraud call.
