I have been donating via PayPal a nominal amount to Northwind (Sawmill Creek) for years. A few weeks ago my account got hacked to the tune of about a hundred $1200 charges. Not sure of the term "spoofed?" where the charges (invoices) appeared to be going through Northwind. PayPal cancelled the transactions and said I should cancel my PayPal account which I did. Northwind is the only recurring PayPal charge I have. Obviously I am soured now on PayPal.
I will add that I responded to an email from "PayPal" saying to call them due to fraudulent activity. The email appeared to come from a PayPal address (service@paypal.com) so I felt somewhat confident in responding. But the more I talked to the "agent" the more suspicious I became. This guy was good, but finally I disconnected and went to my actual PayPal account to see if there were any withdrawals, there weren't, just a hundred pending transactions at which point I called the number on the PayPal website. In retrospect I should have checked my account first and verified the correct phone number.
So, what other ways can you donate to keep up the advantages of supporting the Creek?
