My subscribtion ran out yesterday for GR , this morn I got email from them , I opened it up and was asked for my password, I put it in like I do every morn , and was redirected to another page , which said , thank you for renewing your subs and the money will be taken out of your bank account in next 10 mins .

I wanted to let other members know about the way they are getting people to renew , without you really knowing whats going on till it happens .

I must say I have never had an email like that from them
I never go to any links and I certainly would not put my password in them .
Am wondering if it was a genuine email from GR

It probably was a genuine one as I had the same one last week.

I didn't click on the link in the email as I never do that but went into my account from the homepage.

I was going to pay by paypal as I have some credit in there but when I entered my password it said it had been taken from my credit card and I have had a new one since last year although the number is still the same.

Don't know how they manage to do that when the expiry date had passed.
