I owed my son some money. He was going to use it to make a donation online, and he needed me to put in my credit card info. so I would be the one paying for it.

He fills in the amount and clicks "donate". The options for the payment method are: PayPal, Visa, etc. So he clicks on "Visa".

A new window comes up, w/ "pay by credit or debit card" at the top, & I fill in the cc info.
At the bottom, in place of a "confirm payment" or similar button, it says "register for account." We both think this means we're registering for an acct with the donation platform.

...And that is the only option available to complete the payment. So I do that, and the payment goes through.

Well guess what? I've now registered for "PayPal One Touch"! And after spending an hour or so yesterday to make sure that ALL of my PayPal accounts were closed... I now have a new one!

Needless to say, I've now canceled this one too.
Something to watch out for. Stay safe out there!
