ebe_747 1 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Good Day All, Please be aware of this hoax email I just received through my email account. Please see below attached email content that I received. OZx Official Forum Email : Very Important Information, Please Read FROM OZx Forum TO You FromOZx Forum Tojerry_ebe777 Dear jerry_ebe777, I realise I asked you in May for a donation towards future bills of OZx and the response was amazing, the money collected from that will be able to pay for addons and the new server as it was needed but, there is a problem. Unfortunately I have lost my well paying job with a major IT company due to outsourcing, I and so many others with me were out on the street in less than 30 minutes on August 7th, 2013. I always have paid the main monthly fee for the high end server OZx runs on out of my own pocket but I cannot afford to do that as of next month, so rather than cutting it fine asking the community to help me out here just before money runs out, I am doing it early so I can guarantee OZx's future. This fee is $310USD and it will be unaffordable for me next month to be able to pay that. Even if you have a few bucks to spare, follow the link below to donate: http://www.flightsimstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=1332 That link will take you to the flightsimstore.com which is the site that takes care of all donations for OZx. I feel very awkward asking you for help but as said, to guarantee future operations of OZx it is a necessity. All money will remain in the account for use on OZx bills and costs for future purposes. That way I do not need to worry about OZx while I am looking for a new job Thank you for your attention to this email. If you feel this was a spam attempt, be assured it is not. With warm regards, Jay Kae OZx Admin Hopefully this information is helpfull. Kind Regards, Jeremy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim Harris 1,008 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Dont worry I had exactly the same thought upon seeing that email!, normally I just delete all noreply@xxx type emails without reading them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neil 50 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Just sent a donation, knew Jay Kaye must have been spending a lot of time, didn't realize putting in money too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ramonb 61 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 He has kept that site alive for all of us to enjoy. If he got 1 cent from every download made from that place it would be listed on the Stock Exchange. Thanks Jay Kae BTW: If anyone is doubtful, donations throught FSS to OZx are just fine.

Rob Abernathy 726 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Read the threads, trust in what Tim is saying, donated. Will do so next month as well, if needed. Really hope Jae finds a whopper of a new job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Triplane 601 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Thanks for posting this. I'm new here and wasn't aware of the situation. Donation has been sent and I, too, will donate every month if necessary to keep things going. Doug Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ripcord 912 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Folks, OZx is a huge resource. JK should not be having to shoulder that burden himself at any time, and especially not right now. Let's pick this guy up. If you are like me so you are now so accustomed to going onto FSS and sending $20-25 to ORBX on a regular basis, that this somehow seemed quite natural. It is worth that just for a couple of Ant's airports. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hank 4 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I agree with all the above. I've chucked in another $50:00 to help. Jay should not have to fork out out of his own pocket, especially when the chips are down. Thanks for the years of exceptional service Jay.... hope you'll be back on your feet soon.

Tigerclaw 25 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I never for one second thought it might be a hoax, guess I'm just gullible The link took me to the correct page, so I too bought a few shares in the company I sincerely hope you can gather enough funds to keep things going. With everyone pulling together it should be an easy enough task. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
