How can I set up a fundraising account on a website to an un-registered charity?
Here's the thing, I'm going to mexico in April to build houses for the homeless, I need to raise funds fast and I thought that an effective method would be to set up an account on a fundraising website to have friends and family donate electronically. However I'm not part of a registered charity and nor am I going with them? Any help on finding a website that will let people donate?

Answer 1 :
JUSTGIVING.COM. How much do u need to raise? I am also trying to raise money to go and climb kilimanjaro for charity? How long will u be in mexico? email me :-) u can do it through my yahoo.
Answer 2 :
You will have a big struggle because there is no way to verify that you aren't going to scam people out of their money. It may be better if you partner with an established charity.
Answer 3 :
Please see the reply I have given to Emma. The fundraising should be about building homes in Mexico, not sending you on a trip.

What is the best fixed rate savings account currently available?
What is the best fixed rate savings account currently available?
My nan is looking to put aside some money (approx £20,000) & we are looking for the best rate. She would like the account to be with a well known provider & she would not need to make withdrawals in the short term (1 or 2 years). The best ideas we have so far are Abbey/Bradford & Bingley which do 4% but with monthly deposits necessary. SAGA have one at 3.5%. Any recommendations please... Thank you!

Answer 1 :
Don't be swayed by answers that are really adverts in disguise. (see above). Check out fixed rate bonds on the Net. Make sure that it is covered by the FSCS Financial services compensation scheme. This means that if the building society goes bust, and none can claim total security these days, although they all will, the British Government guarantees your money up to £50,000. ICICI Supersave has the best rate today. They are covered by the FSCS but they are an Indian Bank, and if the Indian government offer a higher protection, they must pull out of the British protection. This is a worry as any guarantee is only as strong as the government that gives it. For complete peace of mind go for one of the big names.

It was a Runescape account if that is of any relevance. I've got it back now. I've never told anyone my password and it's not a password I use with any other accounts.

Answer 1 :
Keylogger virus. It tracks the keys you press and saves them. :\
Answer 2 :
Keylogger. they can potentially send EVERY piece of vital information about your computer and what it accesses to someone.
Answer 3 :
Most people have a "System" in the process of making passwords and sometimes it is possible to make "Logical" guesses and hack the password. Other times it may be due to Trial and Error( by the hacker) entering of Known Common Passwords. For example many people use the word, "Password" as the password or if the PW must be a minimum of 6 characters so the password becomes-- "123456". Many people use their pet's names which can be very common, Fluffy, Buffy, Scotty,Scout, Spot, Lassie and so on...If the person who hacked you account knows you personally--then they can try to figure out your Personal System or they may know specific details such as Birth dates, Parent-Sibling names and so forth. Major Events become PWs too. The recent Tornadoes and Fukushima incidents are good examples. Suddenly, a lot of accounts have "Fukushima" or "Tornado" as the Password. Names of Celebrities and Characters from TV/Movies and Pop Culture are common Passwords. As suggested a keylogger could have been used but most hackers are out for Financial-Banking- Soc Security numbers and etc. They probably will not mess around with a Game Account(which is not to say it's impossible--more or less unlikely). A password cracker electronic unit can be used but most websites automatically will shutdown the account if 'Brute Force"(which that type of hacking is called)is used. In your specific case--it could have been a good guess or maybe even a logical Guess based on your User Name...For example if a person is a Huge Fan of Pokemon---then Popular characters names might be used.."Jiggly Puff, Ash Ketchum and etc. As a precaution you might want to use another computer and change your other account PWs.(in the event it is a keylogger ) Sorry about your experience and glad that it was resolved. I hope this helps.
Answer 4 :
It could have been a key-logger or maybe through security questions, a friend of mine hacked mine through those.
Answer 5 :
if you have entered the account on a shared computer recently then probably the computer you used had the key-logger program which tracks what your typing if not , then maybe because your using the same password for more than an account , maybe one of your other accounts was hacked and now your account in Runescape is hacked too because the password is the same

I had a little sheet of paper that had those 2 pieces of information while filling out something online. I was in a public place. It turns out I had lost that piece of paper with my bank account number AND my routing number for my bank. What's the worst that could happen?

Answer 1 :
Contact your bank or immedietly drain the money by transferring to another account in fear of losing cash.
Answer 2 :
That's on every check you write so you're getting into a panic about losing a paper with it on it? If your bank pays anything out without your authorization it's their problem.
Answer 3 :
Well, when you consider it is at the bottom of every check you write, there must not be much one can do with it unless they are very clever, then you go to the bank and they start a fraud investigation.
Answer 4 :
With this info they could kindly deposit money into your account, but that is very unlikely. You get the same info printed on every check you write. Edit - they probably couldn't deposit money after all - they would need your name too, and even that is on every check you write.
Answer 5 :
Pretty much what last 3 people said. It is on every check. I suppose if you are worried you could close it and open up a new one or see if the bank will put a warning on your account.
