Thread: Tony Miller Strops... I want one!

I second the paddle. I just ordered a Honey Brown strop from him today. That along with my paddle and Norton stone and swaty should keep me going for....ever????

He also excepts money orders.

I just opened a new PayPal account. Gawd help me, I hope I don't go wild and end up in the poor house with a mighty fine collection of razors and strops.

Thanks guys!

No sooner do I sign up and the Fraud email starts! I checked it out of course to confirm my suspicions. Sure enough, its a fraud email. This is what I'm talking about:

Paypal Fraud that is, NOT the Well Shaved Gentleman I might add <g>


Never respond to a "Paypal" e-mail. Always go directly the website via the direct address or a saved favorite on your computer that way you know you have gone to the real website, not some scam site.


Tony

Absolutely correct. I'm glad you made that clear. In no way was I relating anything negative towards your fine reputation. I shall be ordering a strop shortly btw.

My agnst is with these bottom dwelling pond scum phishing ploy scammers. It's so easy to see through them it makes me laugh but yet, it still annoys me.

No worries, I just didn't want someone not following the entire thread to get the wrong idea.

Take care,
Tony

I'd be surprised if it's directly attributable to paypal. But it could be you're infected with a spyware module that's reporting the sites you visit ... since you visited paypal the implication is you're a member and hence you'd be a good candidate for the phish. You might want to run a good spyware/trojan cleaner on your system just to make sure.

It might have just been a coincidence. Upon further investigation, I realized the email came through an address not associated with my PayPal account. That tells me its nothing more than a bait and phish.

I'm going to chalk it up to just a crazy coincidence... Hmmmm, perhaps I should consult my fortune teller. NOT. LOL
