Snake45 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I just realized, this is the time of year I SHOULD be enjoying Battlebots every Friday night on Discovery Channel. Instead, they're giving us stop-gap programming about the Gold Miners, and about how they're NOT mining gold yet this year, what they're doing instead of mining gold, how much they want to get back to mining gold etc etc etc. I wonder how long they can milk this?

But I'm not sure what you mean about the logo being easy. A logo is usually a bitmap (picture) that can easily be copied into any email to make it look official. They can even use the logo directly from the company's website. Not Just Yahoo. Here are some logos from various companies that I simply posted here by using the URL of those logos: Or the bad people can just go to each website, do a screen capture, then crop the logo and add it to a scam email. This is all easy stuff for them to do. I wouldn't blame yahoo for what the scammers do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the logos on company websites are usually images stored in a PNG format. If someone actually took the time to design their own (and yet, slightly flawed) version of a logo, they were not very smart hackers. Another way to get logos is to do a Google search for any logo (either in a bitmap or vector format). I recently had a phishing email, supposedly from Yahoo asking me to log into the new version of their mail reader. It looked legit, but if you hovered over the various links or buttons looking like they were pointing to yahoo, they were actually pointing to other (illegitimate) website. No way I was going to click on them, so they can ask me for my user name and password! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Not sure who deserves the blame here. I needed some P/E parts and every source I tried was out of what I wanted except an Ebay hobby products dealer in Canada (stsupply). I placed an order on 5/25/2020 and the order showed shipped via Canada Post the day after. It is now nearly 3 weeks since, and I have yet to receive my stuff. Apparently the means of shipping wasn't trackable in Canada, and once it reached the US, I assume it's continuing its journey via regular USPS (letter), also non-trackable. The vendor has a great rating, and says it's probably the USPS's fault. All I know is I paid for stuff that seems to be permanently lost.

The shipping on mine, however, was very reasonable, which is why I assume they sent the P/E frets in some type of envelope instead of a box.

It took over nine weeks to get a small packet from Japan, the same size that normally arrives in about 10 days. And like yours, wasn't trackable once it reached the States. It had also been sitting in limbo at the Japanese accepting PO for several weeks prior, and I had started to think it had slipped in a crack somewhere and was lost forever. So don't give up hope.

Monty Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 The lesson seems to be Don't source stuff you need from anywhere outside your own country if it's something that you have to have fairly soon. A number of years ago I ordered some Gunze Sangyo aqueous paint from a shop in Australia (Gunze had withdrawn it from the US). The paint arrived in a timely manner and the cost of shipping wasn't out of line at all. I doubt that same situation would play out the same way today.

It just seems shipping from the us is now an extortion game if ebay is involved. I struggle to find the parts i want in the uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check with your city console about deed restrictions having to do with trees. Some cities require at least one tree in the front yard and many cities have planted tree close to the street. I could be a violation if they cut down the city's tree. Might be worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until they get their bill for running the Air Conditioning this summer. Trees provide so much in so many ways that most don't even realize. Not to mention they're much nicer to look at.
