Never hurts to reveal another scam, Jim!

Although this one is pretty ridiculous! rolleyes.gif

If you let PayPal know about it they can shut it down before less observant folks get taken-in by it...

Doing a quick search on 207.150.192.12 shows some interesting stuff all about spam. biggrin.gif

ABD, I edited your post to make the link non-clickable. Don't want to cause anyone problems. smile.gif

Thanks! My bad, I was in a severe hurry and didn't check the post. All I did was paste it in! Apparently, making a 'link' is somewhat easier than the software suggests! eek2.gif I'm assuming you just deleted the "http://" and the "www" parts?

I figured you were about to head out to church and didn't catch the clickable bit. Yes, I removed "http:// and www" from the addy. I tried adding spaces and that didn't work, and I guess I could have turned things into words, but I was lazy, so I just removed those parts. I italicized them to make them stand out, but you change that. For that matter, you can adjust it all if you'd like. smile.gif

The board software automatically converts url's to clickable. I'm sure there's a way to not have it do this, but I don't know what it is in IPBoard stuff.

As I remember, all you have to do is paste it in backwards. Or, is it upside down? Thinking.gif ;P I'm always make my links, intentional ones, anyway, with a template that already has all the styling I want, then I just paste in the URL. A creature of habit? eek2.gif
