HelioHost Posted April 14, 2024 Posted April 14, 2024 Username: gaffoon, Server: Johnny, Main domain: gaffoon.helioho.stI signed up for a "free" account at 5:00pm, and uploaded enough of my website to know everything works OK. At 6:00pm, I tried to make a donation using your PayPal link. I hate PayPal, but I selected the "pay by credit card" option anyway. I had it half filled out when a black block-out screen appeared saying, "If you're having trouble with PayPal, try THIS link." Maybe somebody is trying to hijack your donations, or maybe not. I'm not going to start over right now in case the PayPal donation goes through on the basis of the information I had already entered (credit card names and numbers). If you don't get $100 from PayPal in my name within a reasonable time, write to me and give me your postal address. I will mail a check, or $100 in cash. Best regards, Jerry Martz
Krydos Posted April 14, 2024 Posted April 14, 2024 That's a very strange story. Have you done a malware scan on your computer recently?
HelioHost Posted April 14, 2024 Author Posted April 14, 2024 A ClamWin scan only kicks out the usual NirSoft Utilities that I installed myself, but then, Clam always complains about them. So, if I don't see a PayPal deduction on my next bank statement, where would you like me to MAIL a donation? Jerry Martz HelioHost Support wrote: > That's a very strange story.

Krydos Posted April 14, 2024 Posted April 14, 2024 You could try this website to donate to us. https://www.charityvest.org/charity/helio-networks-d5b1f0df-8759-41c4-91b3-e9e75099579d Let us know if that doesn't work for you either.
Krydos Posted April 14, 2024 Posted April 14, 2024 To answer your question more directly about mailing money, it would cost us about $7 or more per month to have a PO box, and in the last 19 years there have been maybe 2 people who have wanted to mail us a donation including you, so it seems like the price is probably not worth it.
HelioHost Posted April 14, 2024 Author Posted April 14, 2024 That link you sent shows your street address as 110 7th Ave S Kinkland, WA-98033-6522 Would that be good?

Krydos Posted April 14, 2024 Posted April 14, 2024 Ashoat started HelioHost when he was 15 years old, and I believe that is his parents address where he was living when we started. Ashoat definitely doesn't live there, and I doubt his parents want to handle checks for us. So no, please don't mail a check there. We would likely never receive it.
