    Under PayPal setting there is this feature:


    Set user E-Mail to paypal payer e-mail

    "This only works if you enable username and/or password generation
    in signup form, then it may help to stop some fraud attempts via PayPal"


    It doesn't seem to work the intended way. Actually, it doesn't seem to make a change at all. I thought that if a user signs up using email address A but their registered PayPal payer email address is B, their email address in the aMember database will be changed to email B (i.e. the PayPal registered one) after the payment.

    But it doesn't seem to work this way. Both the username & password is being created automatically so it should work I suppose.

    Reason I am asking: Nigerian scammers. Do I need to say more?

    Thanks!
