stellanoir (1000+ posts) Mon May-09-05 02:43 PM Original message Andy is apparantly having a hassle. . .can we calmly be supportive of him? For those who didn't see the other threads that were locked. . .and in complete accordance with DU rules. . .pullease do not incite harrassment here.Enough money was raised out of the kindness and generosity of many to afford Andy Stephenson his much needed "Whipple Procedure." though he was scheduled for the procedure to be performed today, Paypal said that he couldn't access the funds for the procedure for several days. John Hopkins needs the money up front.He had said something about Paypal accusing him of fraud. I can only speculate but given all the work he did for our democracy, gratis. And what he's gone through over the past 6 months or so. It's probably some clerical or accounting error. Bottom line is that he needs this hassle like he needs a hole in the head. The customer service number for Paypal is 888-221-1161. Consider gently reminding them in a polite manner that they have his funds and that he needs them desperately.Be nice let's not get this locked.

Well, still waiting to hear about the $50,000.....

"Harrassment." "Acussing him of fraud." "Be nice." Could it be, crack are starting to form in the foundation of this scam? Could it be, that a light bulb (however dim) could be going on in some DUmmies' heads?

If Paypal is hang on to the funds suspecting fraud, he can kiss acess to them goodbye unless he can document what they are for. Which, if legitimate, should not be too hard.

You guys may already have this info (since I am late to this party), but I looked up info on the whipple procedure and its cost at John Hopkins. It costs about $26,204 according to the John Hopkins newspaper. See this link for more details.
