PLEASE NOTE

That with immediate effect, due to a chance of policy by the forum owners and for legal reasons, the members' fund administrators can no longer provide immediate market place access, or support for members that fall victims of fraud. Responsibility for the mitigation of fraud in the market place and via private messages is now the responsibility of the forum owners and all reports should be addressed to TTFAdmin.

The members' fund is a separate legal entity to the forum and operated for member benefit. It will now be re-purposed and an announcement made in due course.

TT Forum Window stickers, market place access and compensation fund

We are pleased to announce the introduction of a market place compensation fund to help anyone who becomes a victim of on-line fraud and for the benefit of members. The scheme needs to be self financing and we will be selling TT Forum window stickers to raise money for the fund and to help promote the forum. The purchase will also provide an instant access route into the market place and the PM (Private Message) facility.

New members have delayed access to these features as part of our anti fraud policy, due to past problems with fraudsters, who ran scams and confidence tricks via the PM system. We could ban them once reported but they would open a new account and continue. The delay to access we introduced stops this happening and makes casual fraudsters go elsewhere.

The delay of having to post for a while to become established is an inconvenience to genuine members, however. This option remains but we want to encourage use of the market place as much and as safely as possible.

New members are encouraged to make a small contribution of £5 to our new TT forum and market place compensation fund. The PayPal payment will verify identity and we'll then grant full access and also send by post two TT Forum window stickers which adhere to the inside of car windows facing out like this:

Sticker size 6" x 0.9" (152 x 23 mm)


If you would like to contribute please send a £5 (five UK Pounds) PayPal payment to ttforumpayment @ mail.com (without the spaces)

Don't forget to include your TT forum username in the "Add a note" box during the payment process.

Also please note that the "paying for goods and services" option provides us a postal address for verification and delivery of the stickers. Paying as "gift" (now called "friends and family") is welcome as a contribution but does not provide address details so will simply be taken as a gift and stickers will not be included - thank you.

We will still continue to help members resolve market place issues and disputes by acting as intermediary and providing advice, with police/solicitor liaison where necessary but a discretionary compensation payment from this scheme will now be available, depending on fund balance, should these efforts prove unsuccessful.

By way of transparency and for compliance with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations) we have two documents which help explain our aims and how we handle your data: Constitution and Privacy policy

Here's a sig strip banner if you would like to help support and spread the word. If you paste the code into the signature strip box in your user control panel settings it will display the banner and form a live link that if clicked will return to this post:

Hey I have just paid
We've not received an email notification and logging into PayPal there's nothing there. Could be a delay but could you please check the spelling of the email you sent it to? "ttforumpayment" at mail.com as often the autocorrect gets it :)
