If you don't know what it is, for the love of all that is your $L do NOT investigate...

...if you grant it debit permissions, you just might become someone ELSE's piggy bank!

And not necessarily that of the object's supposed creator.

STRONGLY suggest deleting it!

The name is not suggestive of good things, is it?

The item is still showing in my recent items list, but it is not showing the normal info when you do Properties by right clicking from inventory.

As much as I'd like to know what this, I'd have to go to a script blocked place to pull it out, and who knows, it might have some texture on it I'd rather not see.

Baleted.

Now that's gone, I figured out it was a gift from someone that got help in another thread in this forum. It's not possible to be too paranoid, just to pick the wrong targets.

Sigh.

Prolly my fault.

I just dread the fact that once you give a scam item permission to debit your acct, that avatar is, essentially, financially doomed.

Can't even trust the object creator tag. Anyone can pop a script into an item you once made that was full mod.

I came across a "grant permission to debit" item just recently, so am perhaps sensitized to that problem.

There ought to be a way to send a message with a gift or a payment.

There was a thread on here from someone that was having login problems and everyone that offered help was given this as a gift when the problem was solved. I can't remember the thread name off hand, but I saw the piggy box comment because someone in that thread commented on it.
