This was forwarded to me in an email from Jeanno43. Please feel free to copy and send on to other journalers so that they are safe from this type of scam...
In the Journals Chatroom, you may come across user lilyg97, who is plugging journal Lilyland. http://journals.aol.com/lilyg97/lilyland. That is the journal I alluded to in my entry on Credit Card Info (http://journals.aol.co.uk/pharmolo/NorthernTrip/entries/2007/12/22/credit-card-info/5586),
Do not comment on the blog Lilyland, or enter any information on the entry form in its bottom entry, specifically not credit card information. Again, NEVER give out credit card information in Journals, and you don't need that whole rigmarole to join a shared journal.
The Journals team will deal with this rogue element on Monday.
I copy the email correspondence below.

No one should be asking for credit card information and specifically not to join a shared journal.
Please advise everyone in JLand.. that they should not give out credit card information.
You do not need credit card information to join a shared Journal.
Shared Journal is created on a trust basis, meaning you create a journal and ask your friends to be authors.
I will have Joseph look into this when he returns on Monday.
Thanks Guido for pointing this out.
Note, I will be out of the office next week on vacation, so please contact Vish or Joseph for any urgent issues.
Happy Holidays,
Malika

Can you advise me whether journal http://journals.aol.com/lilyg97/lilyland/ is allowed to ask for credit card details in order for people to join this shared journal? Doesn't sound too kosher to me
