Give ‘till it Hurts

Posted by Randy Abrams at 8:12 AM

You can attack someone by giving them money. This is what has happened to CastleCops, a group of volunteer spam fighters who organized crime has been harassing for quite some time. This time the attack involves stealing PayPal accounts and then donating money to CastleCops to make it look like CastleCops is stealing the money. The victims include CastleCops, PayPal, and the people whose PayPal credentials were stolen.

CastleCops is an outstanding organization worthy of support. It will be the ultimate irony if this attack brings more positive recognition to CastleCops and results in a higher legitimate donation rate than before the attack.

stop using PAYPAL to donate to worthy sites such as computercops.com///dba castlecops.com.

go to your bank bill pay and make them a PAYEE and send them a check to their p.o. box.
look at the home page to find the "mail to" address,
that's how i did it.

no more third parties who don't know how to keep bad guys off their servers.
