The amounts requested have ranged from a dollar to over a million dollars. It's most often in US dollars, but I've gotten requests in Euros, Rupees, Mexican pesos, and more.
The "Request Money" feature in @PayPal is full of abuse. I currently have 27 open money requests and have received more than a hundred since they started the feature.
The number of legitimate money requests I've received is zero. I wish there was a setting to disable it.

I noticed that too. I figured it was people reducing their workload. If we assume we're only ever improving the product, then we don't have to do the work to determine what happens at EOL. And if it should happen on our watch, we'll figure it out then.
One of the least talked about steps in the SDL is the sunsetting and eventual decommissioning of the product.
No one gets in trouble for kicking this can down the road, largely because they’re no longer with the company.
That’s why having product owners is so important.
If 10-year-old code is still in production, it’s often orphaned with no one who owns it. I’ve had to beg devs to fix it with the caveat that if they break something, it’s my fault. (** not at my current employer **)
@AskPayPal I have your credit card and have a dispute. You should pressure @synchrony to accept credit card disputes online. It's crazy that I have to fill out a paper form and mail it in like it's 1990.
I wish the carriers mimicked the browser vendors and focused on solving inherent ecosystem weaknesses. Instead, the @FTC is spending tax payer dollars to whack-a-mole a problem created by the carriers. If no one answers their phone anymore due to spam, do we need phone service?
