SimFly.EU Needs Your Help!
Dear Members,
We have just had to perform some massive upgrades on the servers, this has blown our budget and we are in desperate need of funding to pay our invoices.
This is a plea to anyone that can afford to spare a few pounds/euros/dollars or anything we really need to pay these bills.
The upgrade performed were:
- New Windows 2008 Machine Purchased (Old one failed) - Server Memory Upgraded (Hence the huge speed difference in site) - KVM access for data centre - An additional 16 IP addresses for use with AFTS3.
This is an honest and genuine fee, we are looking to make approximately 300GBP to cover this months invoices which are due now.
You do not have to choose a package from the shop we will automatically issuing vouchers to anyone who makes a paypal payment to billing@simfly.eu if the amounts do not conform to what you can afford.
You can also visit our Voucher Shop via visiting www.simfly.eu/shop.php
This is an urgent situation though, and if we do not pay our bills they will eventually cut off our GIGABIT cables until we do, which means the site will just go off.
Many Thanks
SimFly.EU Team

First of all, are you a member of simfly? Can't say I've ever heard of them. Have you visited the link?
I'm always wary of any email asking for cash, the only time Ive ever donated to a site was to atc-sim.com, and that was a fiver via paypal. And that was through a donation link on the webpage.
If in doubt send nowt.

Just Googled this site and it looks genuine www.simfly.eu/portal.php?sid=738c41236d83ad11a4b8ab072bde6173Could be a genuine plea but looking at their homepage I really can`t see the need for a mass appeal from members when they must/might get advertising revenue. I may be wrong though. You may be a member of another sim flight web site who in turn may share members email addresses and that is why you have been contacted.
