    Sorry for the break in musical content with this, but
    since some of you probably use PayPal, I wanted to
    send this out, just in case it affects you as well.

     ========
    I checked my PayPal account to see what current
    transactions I needed to clear and approve of, and the
    amount I had was a bit less than what I remembered it.
     I looked at all of my transactions, and it seems that
    I made a $19.95 payment for a one-month subscription
    to Drewnet, Inc., who runs proadult.com

    While I personally have nothing against adult sites or
    adult subject matter, I've never visited proadult.com,
    nor have a heard of a company called Drewnet. The
    transaction also states it was made at a time when I
    was asleep. I immediately cancelled it, and wrote to
    the e-mail addresses in the hopes of getting an
    explanation, and a response.

     =======
    Upon looking at register.com, this is what I found:

    DrewNet, Inc.

     ===
    Drewnet is based in Tampa, Florida. Yet in my PayPal
    transaction, the phone number has an area code of 818,
    which I believe is California. But look at the
    administrative contact, and it's in Panama.

    I know some of you have PayPal, and while I'm sure
    most of you are safe from this, maybe you weren't. So
    I suggest you look in your PayPal accounts and see if
    you have any recent transactions from a Drewnet.

    p.e.a.c.e.
