Are you taking part in the accounting of any groups? That is probably the parcel directory listing. If you take part in the accounting, and there are 4 others who take part, that would explain the 6L payment.

No I have nothing like that at all. I have a VIP group and thats it. But there is no land that goes with it or anything.

You only get this charge if the group owner has left you with financial abilities. On the plus side, if they sell land you'll get a cut. Admittedly they'll probably notice this before they sell any land!

The group must be advertising in search places or something like that. The L$30 fee is shared amongst those with financial abilities.

Ok so lets say somebody invites me to a group... You mean to tell me that just by belonging to a group they can start to charge me Lindens for land they own?

Absolutely. I know several malls that stick the merchants/group members with the directory fees split up among them.

It will be because of a group you're in has you in a role where you're responsible for liabilities and they have advertised a group-owner parcel in search.

Blame the group owner for this one, not LL. And just maybe, don't jump the gun next time.

By default everyone has financial abilities when a group is formed, unless they changed that recently.

If they pass on costs, yes.

I'm part of a group, who charges those inside for the group liability. (It's a business arrangement, but still.)

This has nothing to do with anything of SL/LL. This is something with groups only.

I always check groups I enter for costs passed on to group members, you can do this after joining and leave right away if you are unhappy with it. The owner just has to checkmark the box.

Alternatively, the owner may have no idea that he/she checked that box.

First of all thats not jumping the gun but nice try and second of all that is just plane stupid. How lame of a thing is that for people who might belong to a ton of groups. You know how easy it would be to take new people for a ride then?

Somebody can go around just passing out group invites then and nailing all the people who said yes.

Why am I not suprised by this...

Anyway...

Thanks everyone for the info! You learn something new everyday in here it seems.

Glad this one was caught for only 6L's before I knew about it.

Thanks!

Well just imagine, all those people you are sending unwanted group invites to... if they so happen to have joined, they are getting charged too!

Exactly! Talk about a huge hole that SL should cap off. Thats a major issue just waiting to happen if you ask me.
