    You could PM me the site details as 11+ years in hosting business i know what to look for.
    With the greatest respect, Earthstorm, can you please explain why anyone should believe that statement?

    You are an anonymous person on this forum.

    The sort of action you are proposing is just the thing that prospective scammers might do. ;)

    This is a common thing that happens, which if you keep abreast of consumers programs you would be aware of this.

    this also happens

    they have your details and go to mobile phone shop, sign up for lets say a £50 a month contract in your name using your address/DOB and card details, they take phone away and wrack up £1000 charges, well

    who do you think gets this bill.?

    I hate consumer programs!

    I know of the above example, just couldn't see how they could actually have the piece of plastic delivered to a different address and then you be held accountable for it, surely the credit card company would have to pay it as they failed to spot it was a possible fraudulent application?

    That may be so, but that isn't the point, is it?

    Averaging 30 posts a day, I would guess bored schoolkid or bored troll.

    (sorry not going to publish details of a vulnerable site on an open forum).
    I am sure if anyone finds the address via google or here they will see that we are discussing the potential vulnerability so therefore no harm in posting it
