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.
Good LED site?

Phone up someone like newark etc...tell them you are attending your local college or university. Ask them if they sample parts to students...
I'm in electronic manufacturing and there is a local University here..so I can get free samples of pretty much anything with just a phone call for samples...

Yes, do this so they will stop actually giving out free samples to legit students because some tool is too cheap to pay a measly 10 cents for an LED!
My suggestion is to find a local parts shop by looking in the phone book for "electronics" or something similar. Some places that deal in professional audio equipment oftentimes carry things like LEDs and switches, too. For example, www.partsexpress.com carries all sorts of goodies, and they are local to me so that is rad. I picked up a ziploc bag of red LEDs in both 3mm and 5mm sizes for $4 one day. It wasn't completely filled, but I'd say there were about 200+ in there.
I have no clue where I put it though. From the FAQ
