I saw this on the TechCrunch RSS feed and so I figured there must be something more to it. Unfortunately it is as it appears to be, just as another poster mentioned, some random company having a "sale." If you really want to look into Usenet, there are far better companies that you should take a look at and you really do a disservice to your readers that may not know any better.

We at Newsdemon.com have since repaired this issue, and we are happy to report that credit card methods of payment are now fully operational. This had only effected those customers who attempted to pay by credit card only. All PayPal methods of payment, including PayPal transactions that are paid by credit card, are not related to and have not been affected by this error as they are seperate payment processors and systems. The issue that caused this error involved a dropped communication between our server to our payment processor. No information gathered or stored on our servers were ever at risk of being compromised. The error solely caused an unsuccesful transaction. At 6:00 PM today, after extensive testing, Newsdemon.com has taken measures to remove the error and prevent this type of error, allowing customers to checkout via credit card. Any questions or concerns regarding this matter specifically can be directed via email at support@newsdemon.com. We apprecitate your patronage and greatly apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. " Looks like the problem is fixed now. Checked out with no problem this time around. After shopping around, long term thinking, the Unlimited plan works out with the best savings. Just got this in an email:
