  2. The Price of Truth: How NameSilo Protects a $20M+ Scammer

    An article about a $20M+ fraud and NameSiloโ€™s retaliation against those exposing it. Instead of taking action, NameSilo chose to protect the scammerโ€”or perhaps their own involvement.

    If losing our Twitter is the price for the truth, so be it.

  12. So, folks should be aware of potential circuit-board failures with some #HeatPumps (#Daikin )... Also, don't use #BRFServices, who tried to scam the couple with bogus charges (and refused to fix the faulty heat pump)!

    A look at one coupleโ€™s experience installing a heat pump in their mobile home in Waterville.

    By Emmett Gartner
    Published on: December 21, 2025

    Excerpt: "The breakdown between the Callahans and Howe prompted rare intervention on Efficiency Maineโ€™s part. The agency arranged for a second contractor to examine the Callahansโ€™ heat pump. The new contractor ultimately determined it had suffered a fatal circuit board malfunction from a factory defect, Stoddard said. The problem had not been the result of the first contractorโ€™s workmanship, the second contractor told #EfficiencyMaine.

    "The Callahansโ€™ next-door neighbor also had the same model of heat pump installed by BRF Services and experienced the same glitch, Efficiency Maine confirmed.

    "In response, Efficiency Maine removed the Callahansโ€™ heat pump model from its list of rebate-eligible heat pumps, though the agency only heard of the two instances in Waterville where it malfunctioned.

    โ€œLuckily, there were several other models that worked very well, so we just limited eligibility to those other models,โ€ Stoddard said.

    "Efficiency Maine then paid for the second contractor to install a new heat pump system for the Callahans in late December 2024. It was one of the only times the agency has done so, Stoddard said.

    "The second heat pump wasnโ€™t perfect: Around New Yearโ€™s, it started shutting off after only a few hours of use, Christine Callahan said. The systemโ€™s air filter was clogged โ€“ which doesnโ€™t usually happen so quickly โ€” but it was replaced, Stoddard said."

    [...]

    "The fallout between the Callahans and their contractor demonstrates the value of getting multiple quotes from the more than 800 rebate-eligible contractors on Efficiency Maineโ€™s 'registered vendor list.' Efficiency Maine recommends getting at least three quotes for heat pump work before settling on one specific vendor. The Callahans picked the first and only contractor they spoke with."

  18. โš ๏ธ New PayPal Scam โ€” Stay Alert & Protect Your Account ๐Ÿ˜ถโ€๐ŸŒซ๏ธ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

    A new PayPal-themed scam is circulating โ€” typically via email, SMS, or fake web pages โ€” trying to trick people into giving up login details, 2FA codes, or payment info. These messages often look urgent (โ€œyour account is limitedโ€, โ€œunauthorized chargeโ€) and try to push you to click a link or call a fake support number. ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ“ง

    How to spot it: look for bad spelling/grammar, mismatched sender addresses, shortened or strange links, requests for one-time passwords or full credentials, and pages that donโ€™t load at paypal.com when you manually type the site. Legitimate PayPal messages will never ask for your password via email. ๐Ÿ”Žโœ‰๏ธ

    What to do right now: donโ€™t click the link. Open a browser and go directly to paypal.com (or use the official app) to check account activity. If you entered info, change your PayPal password immediately, revoke any suspicious linked payment methods, and enable or reconfigure 2-factor authentication. ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”

    Report & recover: forward phishing emails to PayPal (use their official reporting flow โ€” check PayPalโ€™s Help Center) and report fraudulent transactions to your bank/card issuer. If you lost money or sensitive data, contact local law enforcement and keep evidence (screenshots, email headers). ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“ž

    Prevention tips: enable MFA, use a unique strong password (password manager helps), keep devices patched, and donโ€™t trust unsolicited calls claiming to be โ€œPayPal support.โ€ If a message pressures you to act now, thatโ€™s a red flag. ๐Ÿงฐโœ…

    โš ๏ธ Disclaimer: For awareness & defensive purposes only. I canโ€™t investigate individual accounts โ€” contact PayPal & your bank for case-specific help. ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ”’
