Why would you edit the content of the email after you posted it? Doesn't look very good.

Actually, now that I've had a chance to look at it again, the google nastygram I was privy to had the exact same wording (sorry, I can't share as I don't have permission). It would seem google looped in some FTers to test their fraud detection capabilities.

Which lawyer would ever say 'rack up airline miles' and 'lots' in a legal document. It is very unprofessional! Give me a break! I'll believe until I get one myself. Until then, I will continue to to use this service according to my terms.

I don't think lawyers are sending the emails. If you look at the one liners that show up when you try to send a million bucks you'll see a lot of similarity. Your choice to live on the edge, good luck.

Why would I do something like that? Haven't we all learned from the mistakes made by those who abused Paypal? I'm extremely grateful for those who made them.

Software industry types (non-lawyers) tend to be pretty informal. Google's corporate motto is "don't be evil." Not exactly lawyer-talk.

I finally got someone to send me money with a little work. Now I have the send money feature and it's everything that I hoped it would be.

Do we need to complete the Identity verification by SSN on Google Wallet for sending/receiving money?
I have a google wallet account but don't have a gmail.
Do I need to use my real name for gmail?
I don't want to give too much information to google...

Yep, they require your SSN. They also require your birthdate. I'm sure they match your name and birthdate to your SSN.

Datapoint:
Bank account verified fine, testing transfer from google wallet to bank account directly. Looks like everything is working so time to test larger amounts...
