just noticed an email from mumsnet requesting money?????????

[laughinglil]

I have just read some e-mails that I haven't looked at and noticed an e-mail from mumsnet requesting a fee to cover their costs. Did anyone else recieve this e-mail and contribute any money?

this sounds v suspicious - i'd report immediately to mumsnet hq using the contact the mumsnet team link at the top.

Maybe it was about subscriptions?

I think it was for £10 or something similar. It asked to contribute money to cover cost.

It does sound suspicious. Any subs paid to MN are purely voluntary. Definitely check with MN HQ.

What did the whole E-mail say ???

They sometimes send an e-mail asking people to subscribe. They suggest amounts based on how often you use MN. Does this sound familiar?

just seeing if i have deleted it I will copy and paste it

I've never had anything like this from MN, apart from a reminder that my subs are due, but never requesting a specific amount. Email [email protected] and forward the email to them so they can confirm whether it is genuine or not.

I have deleted it. I just thought it was a little strange and didn't know if anybody has paid any money into mumsnet

if you are on a subscription what are you subscribing to? is there more to mumsnet that I don't know? sorry for asking all these questions!

Subscriptions

No extras, just helping with costs. All voluntary. No one has to pay anything at all.

You are subscribing to use the site. It is entirely voluntary but MN doesn't run for free

I thought that new registrants got sent an email after about 3 months asking whether they would subscribe (and yes, I suspect it would be phrased as covering costs).

A fair number of members do subscribe.

oh i feel bad now thats probably what i have got. I will subscribe after christmas definately!
