i want to secure a transaction with an individual who is renting a studio to me for a week in another state. he wants me to paypal a deposit.
if i ask for a copy of his driver's license does that help me ensure anything? like maybe i could hunt him down and beat him senseless?
outing myself as a paranoid violent here aren't i?

in this file there is something in there im sure you can use to protect yourself, and mcreate a contract where you can feel safe and to make sure nothing goes wrong.
good luck!!

i trusted her

also if you must do paypal, make sure that at least the account / address is verified.

It's good to take precautions.

he sent me a money request through paypal so i assume that means it is verified.
just going to draw up a quick contract. i hate not giving someone the benefit of the doubt but this will be a good place to start getting comfortable with initiating contract signing.

By the way, those forms were from:

getting a copy of a drivers license is just as good as having the individuals SS #. Friend of mine who did car loans told me that. If they needed to go after someone as long as the DL is valid, that's how they trace em down.
good luck

thanks, joyride! i'll ask for a copy of the license as well.
i looked into staying at the same holiday inn as you and point5 but it's too much on my own.
letting an apartment is much more affordable. right on the beach! w00tx2

That guy mark we were talking to in that small bar on the beach on Saturday lives right around there. I think Point5 got his info, I bet you could call him and see if he knows anyplace to stay. Not sure if you're comfortable with that, but, it's a thought
