Okay, the poster listed that site as their homepage!!!
Man, Jaime and Joel must be away, both at the same time. First this guy selling pits, and he's still up, and now this one which is a real scam! Like I'm REALLY going to put my credit card number into a Chinese service----
There's more danger to this than them just taking a donation, they will probably steal your credit card number and use it. It's probably more for that than anything else. Hmmmmm, this needs to be reported to authorities. I have a web business and I can tell you that stolen credit card numbers is a huge problem. More webstore owners are ripped off by scammers with stolen numbers than I can tell you. What they do is order a HUGE bunch of stuff, thousands of dollars worth, and then they have you send it to a real or fake address. Then they call the credit card company and tell them they never got the shipment and have them credit that huge amount of money BACK, directly from YOUR account to theirs. That's called a chargeback. It's awful, and it's why I hand key all my credit card transactions. I can spot the scammers that way, and I ignore the obviously fake ones. Lots of them are in China. I also don't ship to China, Russia, Africa, etc.
I doubt reporting it to their ISP will do much, hmmmmm. I've reported stuff like this before to the FBI and gotten *some* results (and got to speak with tall, gorgeous FBI guys, too, as an added bonus, LOL).
I think I'll send the link to the Humane Society, too.
