Re: The V54 Lounge.

maybe the lights that do get hot could have a Teflon coated flat heat sink for cooking bacon & eggs while camping.

Good stuff--Silver over Copper strands--I still have several outlets in my house wired with Teflon insulated wire--Stereo days--Man you can lay the heat to it and the insulation barely gets soft

I hate silicone as the cover breaks too easy and always too bulky got the gauge

Re: The V54 Lounge.

My Paypal account was just hacked. Someone made like 10 different transactions and stole around $2000. I was able to talk to paypal to put a limitation to my account and reverse the funds. Until this is over I am only allowed to accept paypal but not send out any money or issue refunds. Should take a week to be back to normal. I strongly urge everyone to keep an eye on your account and change your password regularly.

It was very scary to see constant withdrawal in front of your eyes

Re: The V54 Lounge.

the best thing you can do to help prevent fraud is sign up for the security key.

from their site: The PayPal Security Key gives you a second authentication factor when you're logging in to your account. In addition to your password, you enter a One Time Pin (OTP) that is unique for each login. These two factors give you stronger account security.

What is it? The PayPal Security Key sends you a temporary security code via SMS that you enter in addition to your password when you log in to PayPal.

So no transaction can take place unless you enter in the a one-time time sensitive code that is texted to you.


Sorry about your trouble Vinh!

Re: The V54 Lounge.

Holy............*beeps* and glad you spotted it. Sorry to hear:( but its under control now:thumbsup: Other than it will being sorted out(which it will be of course) what measures are they putting in place to help protect more..................you need piece of mind.

I get the odd mail about updating card or near expiring etc

I wont use any email at all be it actually paypal or not,i separate log in through site and never a link via email!!!.

Also banks or paypal never ask for pass words via mail example:- Hi please update your card etc etc etc and req pass word on email.

I am not saying that this is what happened,its a general comment with any bank too,even if 1 person who reads this out of 2000 did not know ......its helped and apologies to those who its "stated the obvious".


Glad all being sorted out vinh:thumbsup: and again sorry to hear,really knocks confidence still as its a personal invasion :mad:
