So, somebody help me come up with a way to explain to my mom that PGI isn't going to steal her debit card and rip her off for loads of money just because it's not hard cash or in person.

We had experience with them before. Let's just say it ended badly.

Your mum still not handing over any money? All i can add is that i have purchased several items from PGI and nothing other than what was bought by me has been added to my card, this is a very worthwhile cause, try telling you mum you love her loads and will wash up for a week.

So go on MRS Leafia Barrett you know you want too.

Bought in the name of Sarah.
I deeply hope that this fundraiser can bring comfort to the Parries family that Sarah's passing was not in vain.
Sarah and her family have my deepest condolences and prayers.

Because it needs to be authorized by her. She answer the security questions and uses her password, each website is encrypted when entering any kind of password and confirming payments which its 100% safe. There is not exchange of personal banking information. You log into your bank account, and transfer funds, that's it. Unlike a credit card where you give out the numbers and your name.

You can show her this post if it helps: I have bought founders package ($120.00) Phoenix Project ($80.00) and now the Sarah's Jenner($10.00) thru their system. No extra has been taken out of my credit card account nor any other bad thing has happened.

Same here, minus the founder's. I've spent a lot on this game, but never any more than I actually authorized through their payment system. It's one of the safest systems I've seen. Very nicely run and very tight.

I still think telling her mother that PGI is in Canada would be plenty of reassurance for her blessed naive heart. But just to be on the safe side, don't mention Quebec.

A wonderful idea for a great cause! Couldn't buy mine fast enough nor in the quantities that I wanted, but I guess I can only pilot one at a time anyway. :ph34r:

$21K and counting!
