How come some sellers prefer to use a paper form one rather than the electronic version though they have both available to them?
Are paper FA-10's still accepted for FTF transfers? I mean the actual carbon copy forms, not the .pdf printouts. I found a blank one while going through some old files.
Check the form. It needs to have a serial number. I believe the older ones did not.

If I do an electronic form, I am typing my own pin, not giving it to someone else.
You could do a lot of damage if you had all the info and pin #.
In my post, which you quoted, I specifically pointed out that the seller does not need the buyer's PIN. The seller submits their own pin to the electronic FA10 system. No PIN sharing is required to do what I suggested.
Technically, the electronic FA10 system has no protection against submitting fraudulent transfers into someone else's name, as long as you have their LTC number, last name, and date of birth, which is all the system asks for as far as buyer info.
Is there anything that prevents the same type of fraudulent transfers using the paper forms? Is that a reason to prefer the paper over the e-version?

I haven't done it personally, but if you're not a paper-only person there would appear to be one obvious solution to doing an eFA10 just about anywhere - use a laptop with a tethered cell phone. Save the PDF and print later. Has anyone tried this?
I think you can also just use your smartphone/tablet which likely already has 3g/4g service.
I don't have either a smartphone OR a computer. I'm not allowed to use the public library because of the incident in the microfiche room.
How am I supposed to file an eFA-10 without expensive hardware and broadband service contracts?
