We have temporarily halted our credit card transactions effective 12-28-2018. All links to the CC forms and process have been removed.
Membership Renewals, New Member Applications can continue but will require using the paper forms, check payment, and postal mail. Membership Renewals deadline will be extended to January 31, 2019 to allow for this change.
The Credit Card issue appears to be in communicating transactions. It also appears to affect only a few membership transactions over the last 1 to 2 days. We are working with the CC system now to resolve any outstanding issues, but may require a few days to get this resolved.
Registration for Membership Renewals and New Memberships are still open with paper forms, check payments and postal mail delivery.
Special Events registrations using Online/Credit Card and Paper Form/Checks have been delayed to January 9.
We regret this, but are working to get all issues resolved ASAP. We will update the membership when more detailed information is available.
Were we hacked and should we be concerned about credit cards we’ve already used?
Response from PayPal is that they (corporate) had a problem. It has been identified and is being corrected. We have received a followup call from PayPal confirming that our account and transactions were not the problem. Our accounts and transactions were not “hacked”. However, we have acted to stop further transactions until we have final verification and their written response on the situation.
PayPal described having come corporate communication and contact information changed. This appears to have been a very short term problem – a few days. We will pass on their official communications as we receive.
