Is this message a scam?

Dear John from MD,

Your access to the paid subscription "MDS Supporter" is about to expire.

If you have selected a recurring subscription you will be automatically billed for the renewal, else to renew this subscription you must visit https://www.mdshooters.com/payments.php

If you do not extend your subscription, access will be removed.

All the best,
Maryland Shooters

I would say yes, because I’ve never heard of a paid subscription here.

It may not be. I found a thread about needing to add ads to offset costs and there was discussion about subscriptions to remove ads. Since I used Tapatalk I don’t see the ads.

There are no subscriptions. If you click on the "donation" button, you can become a supporter for $10 per year and it says right there that you are not subscribing.

If you hover over the link in the original message does it actually match the one you provided here?

John from MD · May 6, 2020

Yes it does but I'm still not going to click on it.

joppaj · May 6, 2020

I suspect the link is valid and auto generated.

if you click home and then donations on mdshooters.com it takes you to the same spot. I have been lurking here for years, about time I ponied up a few $$. I gave this morning. I believe joppaj is correct.

reminder that it is time for another donation...

I finally figured out that it was real and my subscription was up on May 8th. Thanks for the help, I renewed for another 4 years. (hope I am still around to do it in another 4 years) :lol:

Whats the placque thingy look like?

John from MD · May 10, 2020

I think it means you can have a picture under your screen name.

Ya mean like... our avatars?

John from MD · May 10, 2020

If that is what the pictures are called, I guess that is it.

Just pee on it...

Oops, thought this was the poison ivy thread...

I didn't know this was even a thing until today. I hope "Congregate Media" is some kind of secret code for MDS...because that's who got my $ :innocent0

Didn't know this was a thing until now either. Ponied up for a year. Y'all need to send suspicious messages to John from MD more often.

Yeah, I wonder what other little easter eggs are hiding around here that I don't know about :shrug:
