Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Hmm, never had to do that. How are you paying? just send them a echeck via paypal (that's what I do)
I have read of people needing to do that but forgot the details, you can ask them what exact info they need from your I.D, block out everything else and send them a scanned image.
