I rarely use Paypal - generally only for Ebay. I logged into my Paypal account yesterday for the first time in months and saw a "subscription" from a company called GroupBuilder for $19.95 set to be payed in April. I have no idea what it was so I canceled it. A few hours later I got an e-mail from someone from GroupBuilder asking why I was canceling my "supporting membership". A little googling indicates that GroupBuilder was bought by VerticalScope. The only thing I can think of is that VS got my Paypal info through Advrider. I was a supporter at Advrider but canceled that a day or two after the VS announcement so there should be no recurring payments to them. And even if there was, my subscription is good until October so an April payment doesn't make sense. I could be wrong - I have a shitty memory so maybe this isn't related to Advrider and Vertical Slope. It could just be a straight up scam. Or it could be something I legitimately set up and forgot about, but even with my shitty memory I doubt that. In any case, I completely closed my Paypal account. I could respond to the e-mail from GroupBuilder to ask what's up but I don't want to engage them until I have a better idea who they are.
So who the hell is GroupBuilder and why would I have a subscription with them?
