  1. I feel the same Peewee, I wont touch this system, I think its incredible that LL can even ask this sort of thing. I will see what they reply to an email I've sent to them, if of interest I will post it:)
  2. Back again :-) I've decided that under no circumstances will I send the details these people ask for and have written in reply to their email saying so. I will continue with the existing system of having to go through the security checks. The risk is unacceptable and for Linden to ask this of users is in my mind unacceptable also.
  3. Hi all, Well I have now managed to check with LL in the states and Europe. This is a new system for at least Western European users. The company mentioned in the original post is genuine and is carrying out LLs security checks. This is, as the email says, to enable international users to verify their details and not have to go through further security checks each time they wish to purchase L$. There is a new international freephone number for billing support 008 007 1237123. I have to say that the original email could have been worded a little differently maybe or SL users should have been informed about this in advance, but I guess that would have been hard to do. Thanks for all your comments and do pass this new number around. James :-)
  4. Thanks for the numbers Wildcat, Ill try contacting them but I am fairly certain it is fraud. The original email had a url at the top (where it came from), the forum rejected it as false when i tried to copy it to the the post, also the address is wrong it should read "my.secondlife.com" not as it is shown on the email. Ill check it anyway and post tomrrow
  5. Hi Peewee, yes its fraud, the address/link is false, is not as it should be, the "my" is in the wrong place and no one would ask for a photocopy of a credit card, front and back, and an ID photocopy. Credit card payments are now verified, outside the US, by secure online systems run by the card issuers, via the Cashier, as is my case, so further "verification" is fraud :-)
  6. I just recieved the message below, obviously fraud but i felt some one should know about it. Many SL users are not familiar with the system and may get caught.
