Possible scam

[can1010]

Hmm.

That would be true for the original reason to post. Fore warned is fore armed. It's the follow on posts that confuse me. So..

I am more interested in after it was confirmed that is was Long Range Only communications and that when you accept the terms to be here you are told that you will get messages from the administrators. People keep complaining it's a scam.

@Chris

that's also simple most people only read the title and never the responses

I figured the entire reason for this thread was satire but 5 pages in, guess not.

We have noticed in PM's not to use payment methods. They can't do a chargeback, but they still ignore it.

Since so many are reading this thread, friendly reminder:

I've been here a lot longer then my profile indicates.

That is a good explanation based on 10 or more years here. It also covers why some get bent out of shape for the wrong reasons.

One of my old accounts was compromised.

Frustrating not to be able to recover it but this is a forum so not going to impact real life.

You might.

Somewhere around 2019/2020 it was compromised. The origin of the compromise was a shooting forum but I don't know which. I didn't know about the compromise because I wasn't active.

I stepped away from shooting as a consequence of moving out of California. California put such a bad taste on so many things I enjoyed that I had to back off. I played with motorcycles instead.

@Chris I tried but all I could figure out to do was respond to the request to be a supporting member. I would become a supporting member if those issues were explained.

This seemed odd to me…
Some guy named Chris that identifies himself as an administrator soliciting a reduced membership rate w/ auto renewal. Anyone else getting this message? I don't know how to notify Mr Backus

I got it also, thought it was a scam and deleted it.
