It has come to my attention that a person attempted to member up in the last 24 hrs and was instructed to provide a credit card #. That would by a scam hijacker operation in my view. Ever heard of such a thing on CF? I have not but I'm sure it's possible these days. I provided a verified working link to my thread on the SE forum. By click it goes right to it. I'm concluding she used the link and then attempted to member up in order to post but could have used a different route. Any thoughts before I return to my local nextdoor.com to advise her further?
