the link you donated under was NOT secure.
your donation may have reached the correct destination but your credit card information may have gone somewhere else as well.

so I really hope your right.

Whatever.

you don't seem to grasp the seriousness of the situation.

the site does not need to be live for the links at the top to work correctly and they're not working correctly!

Tell you what Mr. Truther - why don't you go and troll somewhere else.

Just noticed that myself.

I will fix the temporary site when I get home tonight if the final is not done yet.

I don't understand why you're angry with me for pointing out a flaw that MAY be deliberate and could hurt a lot of Ron Paul supporters.

I like the tea party idea. It's why I went to the site in the first place.

What is annoying is that first you come in here, NEW MEMBER might I add, with a confrontational and accusatory attitude. Next you show your entitlement. After you are confronted with information by the very people who are in charge of the site that it is design error on the site, you continue!!!

If you have not been here for a while, you have no business making assumptions like that!!!

Instead, ask questions!!! There is no grand conspiracy to cheap change people here. Got it?!!!


I have been in contact with these people about the development and other events for December 16th. Moreover, I have been personally seeing designs for other things planned on that day!

That is why I am upset!!!

And you continuing this way by suggesting sabotage?!!! Who the hell are you that we should so instanteously believe?!!!

If you have not been here for while, then don't make assumptions about people who have been here and have developed credibility!!!

 

[Santa Barbarian]

I agree with Itzsoez.

With such a huge amount of money being donated in a short about of time a simple hack that routes people to a phishing site could be catastrophic.

And KewlRonduderules, to call him a troll for bring this up is just immature.

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." -- Samuel Adams

Lets get irate about the abuse of government, concentrate on the task at hand, and ensure that donations to Ron Paul are secure. There is no one person who is entitled to any right or privledge greater than another. Don't accuse one another so quickly, don't loose focus as to the intent of our efforts. This is a cause for liberty, place that goal higher than all others.

FYI: I run a realtime donation tracker over at http://paulcash.slact.net - there's totals, rates, stats, and projections -- and it held up very well against the traffic onslaught on Nov 5th.
you can link to the graphs directly, or use a thumbnail, or whatever.

KewlRonduderules

I did not say anything about a conspiracy but instead pointed out a potential scam to redirect donations and or credit card info.

as for being confrontational, it was not my intent. I just wanted to voice my concerns of a POSSIBLE scam.

what should I have done?

 

[KewlRonduderules]

I agree with Itzsoez.

How about asking questions instead accusing people of being scammers before commenting? That is not so hard, is it?

I think to suggest that he was trolling was well deserved because he continued unabatedly with his suggestions.

My response was very appropriate.

As for you Itzsoez, here is your quote:

Please check this out and let me know what you think.

goto teaparty07.com and click the ronpal2008.com link

notice that the web address did not change!
now go to the donate page and notice that the page is NOT secure and the web address still says teaparty07.com. I would NOT donate on this page.

if you go to ronpaul2008 directly and click the donate link, that page is secure!

this looks like a scam to me!

setting up a direct link to another website is easy and it should show ronpaul2008.com NOT teaparty07.com

you made it very clear that it was a scam. not a possible scam but a scam.

Additionally, you say this:

KewlRonduderules

I have designed websites before and see no legitimate reason for the teaparty07 website to do what it's doing.

NO CHILL 'til I get some answers.

that sounds pretty confrontational and entitled.
then you continue:

the only reason I joined this forum was because the taeparty07 site looked like a scam and I needed to tell someone. I just want to make sure that all donations goto Ron Paul and not some clever web page designer.

everyone should be concerned!

and continue:

KewlRonduderules

the link you donated under was NOT secure.
your donation may have reached the correct destination but your credit card information may have gone somewhere else as well.

so I really hope your right.

So what else am I supposed to think when you make assumptions and persist in this manner yet you insist on knowing about everything what is going on in here.

Quite unfair and does not serve the interests of the community. And you are creating unnecessary conflict and turmoil by your suggestions and being persistent about it.

 

[Itzsoez]

nathanielyao says he'll fix it! so I'll check it out tomorrow.

KewlRonduderules, since you are a fellow Ron Paul supporter, I will refrain from name calling.

I did not "assume" the ronpaul2008 link did not work correctly, it actually does not work correctly. else it would not need to be fixed.

 

[john_anderson_ii]

I like the site. Kudos to the designers.

No, you assumed it was a scam.

The author of the webpage is using frames (not really sure why) and didn't set the link targets properly. It may not 'look' kosher but nobody is sniffing CC#s through that website. That said, appearances are important. I'm sure the main stream media would love to fill their airwaves with negative talk about supporters scamming donors - whether it'd be accurate or not.

what I'm concerned with most is that going to the ronpaul2008.com website via the teaparty07.com link and then click the donations link. the site appears to be insecure. the web address is http://wwwteaparty07.com instead of https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate/.

although I doubt anyone is actually deciding to donate via that page, even if they are their transactions are still secure. for a more detailed explanation see here.
