Warning: Payment Glitches

[WolfBaginski Bearsfoot]

With UK news media reporting that RBS, one of the major banks, has been having computer problems affecting payment, it was worrying when I got one of the usually vague Linden Lab emails telling me that the Premium Payment had failed, and the recommended remedy also failed.

I was very careful to be sure that I was logging in to a Linden Labs web page, but I was getting "Unexpected Error" Eventually the problem seemed to sort itself out. Was this a transient problem? I hope so, but I get stuff from other US sources and, taking into account the number of transactions, Linden Labs do not seem to have a reliable system.

Don't Panic, and check those web addresses before you log in or submit payment data. A fake web pahe that throws up an error before sending you to the real site to "resubmit" those card details is an old trick. But even real errors are worrying.
