1) Fake Domain Expirations:

A common scam is from companies warning you that your domain is about to expire, and trying to get you to renew it through them. The problem is since they are spammers and not your actual registrar, this involves you transferring it to them! Following through with this sometimes means accidentally changing registrars, but it could also result in you losing ownership of your own domain! Below is a sample of one of these emails that one of my clients got.

A few things to notice on here which are common to nearly all spam/scam emails:
First look at the “from” address as well as the URL of the link they want you to click. they are bizarre and unprofessional, with strange domains (instead of something you’d expect like godaddy.com or networksolutions.com).

Second, they don’t even match (the email is from a totally different domain than the URL to click).
Sometimes the URL that is shown in the text is actually different than the URL you will be taken to when you click.

The only time you should respond to one of these is if it is from your own domain registrar. Make a point to know who your domain registrar is. (not sure? Ask me.)

2) Phishing emails

These are sometimes harder to detect (if they are done well) but here is what to look for… On the screenshot below, it all looks legitimate, claiming to be from Stripe.com (a credit card gateway), but in fact this is a very nasty phishing attempt. The way you can tell is by hovering over (hover only, do NOT click!) the URL that they want you to click on. When you do that and look down at the very bottom of the window, depending on what email client you are using, you should see a little box that shows you the URL that the text is actually linking to. See screenshot below, when you hover over the URL, notice the destination is different! This is the first and primary sign of danger!

Another telltale sign is that they often contain misspellings and punctuation errors. See above where it says “we couldn’t fine your account information” as well as the messed up punctuation after the words “48 hour” (in fact this whole sentence is just a debacle!)

A dose of common sense sometimes helps here, too. You will generally NEVER get an email from any legitimate website asking you to log in. The only time you should respond to these are when you have just signed up for a new account and you have to verify the email address. In this case, you are probably looking for the email, so you can assume it’s legit. But when it shows up out of the blue, beware!

There is no way to do this on single product/services charges, but what you can do is create another feed which has a delay on a trial, and then use the code below to cancel the subscription immediately after creating. Now the customer will be created in Stripe but will not actually be charged.

Thanks to this post https://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/article/create-a-customer-in-stripe-without-capturing-payment/

// cancel a Stripe subscription, leaving the customer payment details in Stripe so they can be charged later
add_action( 'gform_post_subscription_started', function ( $entry ) {
    $stripe    = gf_stripe();
    $feed      = $stripe->get_payment_feed( $entry );
    $feed_name = rgars( $feed, 'meta/feedName' );
    if ( $feed_name == 'feed name goes here' ) { // update this line only.
        $result = $stripe->cancel( $entry, $feed );
        $stripe->log_debug( "gform_post_subscription_started: Cancelling subscription (feed #{$feed['id']} - {$feed_name}) for entry #{$entry['id']}. Result: " . print_r( $result, 1 ) );
    }
} );

Say hello to the new and much-improved ReKnew website! Not only have we upgraded the look, feel, and functionality of our site (e.g. our new search engine frankly rocks!), we’ve added – and will continue to add – new content. For example, because I am frequently asked what books I’d recommend on various topics, I created a bibliography of over 2,000 recommended books on the topics I spend most of my reading time in, and I will be regularly adding to this list. I also rated each book in terms of its level of difficulty, and Barbara, our website designer (more below) even linked each book to Amazon to make it easy for you to purchase it if you want to! (Okay, fine, we also did this because with every book purchased from our website we get a small kickback from Amazon – so support us by buying my books and books I recommend through our site!)

We want you to know that this is a work in progress, because more exciting things are on the horizon. For example, one of the greatest needs in the global kingdom movement that God is raising up today is for people who share our vision of a Jesus-looking God raising up a Jesus-looking kingdom to be able to find one another. So we are in the process of creating a global map where kingdom individuals, groups, churches and organizations can register themselves and begin communicating with each other. This is just one of the many additions to our site that you’ll be seeing in the coming months. So stay tuned!

I and my ReKnew team would also like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of you who are regular supporters of ReKnew. You are helping us inspire, resource and network the kingdom revolution. Thank you! And if any of you who share our excitement about this movement would like to partner with us by making an end-of-the-year contribution and/or by becoming a regular supporter, you can do so here.

Finally, while it would require an overly-long blog to thank all the individuals who have worked so hard behind the scenes to help create this new website and who help keep this ministry running, I simply must give a shout-out to the effervescent and always-spunky Barbara Schendel, owner of Wizzy Wig Web Design. Barbara, your Encyclopedic knowledge, witty humor, incredible creativity, and, perhaps most importantly, godly patience with our prone-to-change-our-mind team made working on this site an exciting and joyful adventure. Thank you!

I encourage you all to spend a moment exploring our new home. And feel free to give the site a shout-out to your friends. Use the hashtag #NewReKnew.
