If you researched a breeder enough to send them money in the first place, why would some technical babble make you think they are now "bad people"?

It might make me stop and think something is wrong with their site. I might send them a message saying "hey what's up?" or heaven forbid pick up a phone and speak to a real live person. I might, if I didn't really know them, use my little grey cells to actually find out from independent sources about this company I've either sent money to or intend to do business with.

A very quick search online gave me example after example of companies complaining about this "flagging". Apparently you don't get notified if you get flagged by Google, you don't know you are losing business until you figure that out and hey - they aren't responsible to you for what you've lost if you or your server were flagged incorrectly.

Sorry but I guess I'm just too old to buy into any automatic belief in any computerized notification system so much that I stop thinking for myself. Don't get me wrong, I obviously love Google but I can't think of that last time I googled something and just believed it without question and without verifying what results I got.
I know and have researched NERD .. that isn't the issue, the issue was the exact same site that took my credit card info the day before is now flagged for having malware. Was it the right site? Was there some phishing with my information? Those were the questions I could not answer myself.

Thanks for calling my common sense into question, I was just taken aback by the coincidence of the whole thing and was/am concerned about my personal information being in the wrong hands.
