Yeah I just found it strange that money has actually come out of my account. Hhmm I've very very rarely use my PM and even I do its just to the odd member of this board every now and then. But even then definitely no discussions of money or anything else ever happened. :shock:

Okay fair enough I just wondered if anyone else had ever had anything like this happen. I'll contact my bank tomorrow and hopefully if it fraud they'll trace and get ot back no worries. :D

please keep us informed it's a serious affair

I wonder if other members have been hacked ( of course this could be a case of phishing) :cry:

Strang, If this was the case I'm for sure John or any other Admin person would have told the board about being charged for the PM.

I don't think anyone gave bank account info to the board?

Sounds like a scam, somebody either got hacked or it's a phishing scam.

Cancel your card and change log in details. Sounds like somebody has access to your account.

This is not something that has been set up on the forum.

Could you forward me at {john AT s-a-web.com} the email you received regarding payment if you could forward the whole thing it would be appreciated.

If you could also let us know exactly how the billing is described on your card statement.

The more information you can send us the better. We will get to the bottom of it.

John

All been resolved. Just wanted to give a massive thank you to John for helping out in this and helping me sort this issue out. Thank you again. :D :D

EDIT: Forgot to mention. Still not 100% sure what triggered it in the first place but John's team are investigating the issue. So all I can say is that if any other member has this issue please email John to get it resolved. He's an awesome guy to speak to and he gets it fixed quickly. :)
