We have received an email from someone who claims to have recently purchased the FSPlanet.com domain name. We cannot vouch for that, but we did want to pass this along just in case there is some truth to it. He claims that previous FSPlanet first class members are still paying for their membership and that those payments (via PayPal) are going to the previous owner. FSPlanet does not now charge for "First Class" membership so the point is that folks are spending their money needlessly.

 

Again, we cannot substantiate any of that, but if you have been a FSPlanet user and spending money there, you might want to ask some questions to insure you are not wasting your hard earned money.

FWIW:

1. There appear to be only 106 "Members"
   
2. There is no notice regarding change of ownership
   
3. The site is full of "Google Advertising" (which points to now being ad supported)
   
4. There is now a link for "Donations"
   
5. There is a notice which reads:

Don't know who owned it before, but it shows a Dutch address with Tamer Nurgel at the helm now:
