Hi all, This could just be extreme paranoia on my part, but it's worth the investigation.
I see that several PLUG members are researching an alternative to in-person meetings. One option that was mentioned was FreeConferenceCall.com. Out of curiosity, I casually looked this up via an online search and was given 2 hits. FreeConferenceCall.com FreeConference.com Both websites appear very similar, but do not obviously reference each other. I do not believe they are the same company despite very similar appearances. I smell bullshit. Someone is copying someone else, and while I don't know if this is a legitimate attempt at competition or direct attempt to deceive users, I'm not using either service. IMO both of these services present a potential for identify theft that goes above my tolerance levels. There are other fish in the sea when it comes to conference calling. As much as I'd love to participate in video sharing for PLUG meetings, I believe we all have an obligation to properly inspect the services we recommend. Given the situation, I advise EXTREME caution. -Ben _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
