If you go there with Internet Explorer 7, you get a warning that says:

"This might be a phishing website.

Phishing websites impersonate trustworthy websites for the purpose of obtaining your personal or financial information.

Microsoft recommends that you do not give any of your information to such websites.

Report where or not this is a phishing website."

Awright, now I am Really Angry :reallymad:

My web site is 100% trustworthy! All I have on my site is paypal buttons, a forum, a contact form, the shout box and a recommend a friend form. None of them collect any information other than email address and name. The financial information stuff is all PayPal.

Please help me by going to the Microsoft site and tell them this is NOT a phishing website.

I would truly appreciate this. I have no idea why Microsoft is doing this to me. :flamemad: :saw:
 
I just submitted my feedback. Guys and gals, show some support here.
 
Thank you, I APPRECIATE IT!!!! :AOK:

I just received a message from Microsoft saying "We have reviewed the information you provided regarding this website and removed the incorrect designation. We thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

Please note that although we have removed the incorrect designation, it may take up to 24 hours for you to see this change reflected."

Well, it seems the situation will be resolved eventually. This was a quicker response from Microsoft than I had expected.

Thanks again, friends. I am sure input coming from several sources (read: you) helped to remove this "incorrect designation" much quicker than would have been the case otherwise.

You guys are great. :pancake :AOK: :R
 
I told 'em you're a crook who's trying to bilk unwitting guitarists out of their hard-earned gig money.....NOT!!! ;)

Seriously, it only takes a few seconds, so CLICK THE LINK!!
 
I followed the link to your site and don't get any message. I'm not sure if it's fixed - I don't think they would be that fast, they already proved time after time that they don't even know what a minute is.

I clicked on the pay pal and buy now and nothing popped up from MS.
 
Done.

Now with that said,,,,see what happens when you dont use Firefox???

Hey Robert, I may be a little late, but I gave them my two cents. And Big Rob, I'm with ya' brother. My son the software engineer who makes more money than me and completely forgot about his old man after I paid for college:( turned me on to Firefox. I love it.:beer:
 
Oh, while I was there I also reported to Microsoft that once again Strum has failed to register as a sex offender.:D You can run Strummy, but ya' can't hide!:rotflmao:
 
I tried to go to Microsoft.com with Apple Safari but I got this message:


"This might be a phishing website.

Phishing websites impersonate trustworthy websites for the purpose of obtaining your personal or financial information.

Apple recommends that you do not give any of your information to such websites.

Report where or not this is a phishing website."

:rotflmao:

Ok, that wasnt true but I´m glad that microsoft removed the website warning for your site........
 
Welp, I still get the phish and blocking the gif's for PAYPAL when I load it.. although they load anyways..:) I think it might have to do with what settings a person uses also with their explorer..
precautions more than anything..

Glad people speak up to Microsoft though..
