Mysterious email
Received the following email this morning:
Dear wannabervin,
Your access to the paid subscription "Grand Design 1 Year" is about to expire.
If you have selected a recurring subscription you will be automatically billed for the renewal, else to renew this subscription you must visit https://www.mygrandrv.com/forum/payments.php
If you do not extend your subscription, access will be removed.
All the best,
Grand Design Owner's Forum
Couldn't remember that I ever had to pay anything, but I clicked on the link (may not have been the best idea) and it took me to a screen telling me there is no Grand Design Forum subscription that requires money from me.
Puzzling...

I have seen an increase in phishing emails, I got a notice from Photobucket saying I have exceeded by free plan please send money here... Hmmm, I know there was another one but I can't remember what it was, anyway, senior moment, now I remember it. It was a forum post about having a Microsoft error code while doing something, it had a link to learn about the error code but took you to a fix your computer here after pay site.
Just remember your computer is like your car, if you have anything important in it lock it up, there are people in the world that work very hard to take your stuff.Dallas

Hi Wannabervin, you are listed as a “site sponsor”, so as some point you paid the $12 a year membership fee. I’m not sure why you got that message. Either your membership is about to expire, or it is recurring and you are up to date. That does sound legitimate to me though.

I got an Email almost exactly like that. Came to the site and checked under my settings and my subscription was due to expire in a few days. I Did the 1 year renewal. I did not use the link in the email, I just don't trust things like that anymore.

Just click on the "Paid Membership" tab near the top of the forum page. It will tell you when your membership expires and I believe you can renew thru that. If not, someone will correct me and give you the straight scoop.

My spam message wasn't an email but it came through the forum. See below for the bogus message
Hi Chuck,
I work at a long-term oriented investment firm that manages money for endowments and family offices. We recently became one of the largest shareholders of Winnebago Industries, which derives the majority of its value from Grand Design.
As you can imagine, input from customers is very useful in understanding our business and monitoring its performance. I’ve spent some time reading the forum and enjoyed many of your helpful posts. I’d love to hear you and Glenda's story and learn more about your experience with Grand Design.
If you could find 10-15 minutes to chat, we would really appreciate it. Let me know if you’d be available, and we can schedule a call.
Thanks,
Graham

The forum has a built in reminder system for when your paid membership is expiring. It sends them out about 1 week in advance, maybe 2. I've not had an instance where someone received a spam message, but it is always a good idea to check the link before you do anything. In this case, as indicated above, the save way is to click the Paid Membership tab above, and it will confirm it. You can then use that link to renew.
Thanks!
