It is our goal at Blind Bargains to report news events accurately as they happen. Last week, we originally reported that several Serotek employees had been fired when in fact they had resigned or otherwise left the company. The story was corrected later that evening after we were informed of our error. We know many of you rely on Blind Bargains for credible news coverage in the assistive technology industry and beyond, and so we apologize for falling short in this instance. There's a lot still to tell in the Serotek narrative, and as the story unfolds, we'll do our best to present the most accurate information possible. As always, if you find an error in a story we publish, please don't hesitate to send us a message.

We wanted to alert you to a scam involving fake Paypal transaction notices via Email which was reported by one of our users.
The message was pretending to be an official notice from Paypal that payment was sent for an ad. It included several red flags, however including this sentence which perhaps was the most obvious: "payment has been deducted from the buyer's account and has been "APPROVED"but
will not be credited to your account until the shipment reference/tracking number
is sent to us for shipment verification and this is done to secure both the buyer
and the seller against any fraudulent activities."" Paypal would not hold your money until a tracking number has been sent. If you receive a payment notice from Paypal or another service and are unsure if it is legitimate, log into the website directly and look through your recent transactions to verify the purchase.
While these types of scams are nothing new, it's always good to exercise due diligence when receiving Email related to a amoxicillin over the counter to ensure it is not a fraud. The text of the message is below. Names have been removed for security.

After a bit of a break over the summer, we've returned to bring you the deals, news, and resources you've come to expect. Watch for new features, improvements, and much more in the coming year. Welcome back to another exciting year of Blind Bargains.

Thanks to reader Nancy, we've fixed some of our pages when browsing through past deals. Formerly, you couldn't browse through more than one page of old deals. The links at the bottom of the page now work, however, so you can browse through deals back to our beginning in 2006.

In an effort to help you find what you're looking for more quickly, we've introduced several new categories. If you're looking for a place to keep your files, try the hard drives, memory cards, and flash drives categories under storage. Our computers/hardware category now includes sections for desktops, laptops, portable devices, peripherals, and printers and embossers. There's a special cell phone category under phones. And finally, the useful websites and links we often post will now fall in our new resources category. You can view posts by category by selecting the browse link from the menu at the top of any page.

If you're a Daily Deals subscriber, you may have noticed a new feature. We now include the five most popular deals at the bottom of each newsletter with links to jump to them directly. If you're not a Daily Deals subscriber, use the link on this post to join the announce-only list.

We've made it easier for you to submit items for sale, deals, and business information. Our new user submission wizard will guide you to the appropriate forms and help you get published on our site. Try it out, and let us know what you think.

We are currently having problems delivering mail to AT&T and Belsouth users, because their server is blocking our mail as spam. We are doing what we can to get the block removed, though we also encourage any effected users to call and complain as well. We recommend signing up for Daily Deals using GMail or another service with sensible spam-blocking practices. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
