What do we think, is that reasonable?
I only ever used it to buy interesting parts, but still, a bit miffed.
Anybody had a similar experience?
Full disclosure, I’ve been going through various forums resetting passwords to more secure random iPad generated passwords, and I guess either the RF or my iPad had a brain fart, and the password wasn’t updated.
I contacted the site admins to ask about resetting my password, was told there is a link under the sign in (there isn’t for me on my iPad). When I sent a screen grab showing no link I received an email back demanding $25 dollars plus a lot of personal info to reset my password “due to scammers”. That didn’t make any sense to me, $25 isn’t going to put off scammers selling fake or stolen high end watches, so I replied and said as much.
I made a new account, and asked the question whether I was being scammed or was it a genuine request. That post disappeared, so I posted a more curt version asking if it was reasonable to demand $25 to reset a password.
That post was deleted, and I was banned. Oh dear.
Thanks
