We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Paypal Phishing scam

I recieved an e-mail this morning, supposedly from Paypal, saying that
my account had been suspended (copy of message below). The message
looks as authentic as you would expect, apart frpm the URL which sends
you to http://www.pahamradio.net/log/ which also looks like the genuine
article. I've informed the IPS and Paypal, but it seems the site is
still up and phishing...
