I just went to sign on for another year and got a warning...

<!--coloro:#FF0000--><!--/coloro-->"Netscape has identified Paypal as a <b>known</b> 'Phishing' site"<!--colorc-->
<!--/colorc-->
Not 'possible'... KNOWN. Netscape may be in error but I won't be using Paypal anymore. At least until this gets cleared up.

What about a post office box? Instructions to write their member number in the 'memo' section of the check?

No privacy issues with a PO box that I see... Not like your home address or anything.
Let me know how to get it to you... it's sitting here waiting.

fyi... I run the latest IE NS and FF(Mozilla).

If it's any comfort, I've used eBay a lot for one thing and another, and used PayPal for much of it and indeed for other transactions, without any evidence of personal information being abused - we check our credit and bank statements in detail every month. Having said that, PayPal is obviously under observation, as I do get the odd phishing e-mail seeking "confirmation of bank details" etc., but they're easy to spot. Interestingly, Netscape (as the provider of the connected e-mail service etc.) has never issued any warning at this end.

Hi Pete, just paid my £5 through paypalno probs
Dylan

[dapleb]

Many thanks Dylan, you plan on keepin the 9'er now? Either way, hopefully see you this summer.

[bof69]

I would go the PO Box route to send a cheque.
Prob there of course is that you have to PAY for a PO Box address so adding more to the cost of running the forum.

[dapleb]

and some bugger has to go to the box to gerrit....I am rarely in the same county let alone town/place for more than a week.

[bof69]

just tied a cheque onto a pidgeon, should be flying your way now. Buzzards permitting.

Q; wot sort of fish do you catch on these sites (paypal etc.) ?

[dapleb]

Many thanks cyco, if the buzzards dont get him the badgers might!

I just sent my renewal in thru Paypal... Did a bit of research on 'phishing' first and they all said the same 2 things,<ol type='1'><b>You</b> get 'approached' by a fake email.
Leads you to a <b>fake</b> paypal site.</li></ol>Seems as long as you are sure you are starting on the real paypal it's ok (as far as I can see).
In IE the real one should say Carpe-TDM on top and have your email addy already filled in. (Based on IE7)

A snail-mail system would still be nice though for the luddites in the group (and the paranoid).
Don't know how it works there but a tiny PO box here is fairly cheap and you can put a forward on it
(so people <b>know</b> PO Box11B but it gets <b>delivered</b> to 102B Baker Street.)

I suggested a PO to keep your address (and the location of your TDM) 'secret'.

[masterbrewer]

Hi Dappers
I understand now & I think I only qualify for 1 year membership as the only money I've sent was for the calendar. Just waiting for funds to clear in account then off she goes.
Thanks for all your hard work
Cheers

Same as my in-laws, but they always seem to find their way here with depressing ease and regularity.
