What the Eff is Zhoulihua?
Religiously may not the be the right word, but it wouldn't be wrong to say I log into my bank account almost daily to see the balance of my checking account for one reason or another... usually it's to make sure I received a money transfer from Paypal or a direct deposit from a client or place of employment. I also log in to make sure my account hasn't been hacked or used by an unauthorized party that may have stolen my ID somehow. And I have a pretty god idea of who m creditors are, so I can usually tell if an unknown quantity is taking money out of my account without permission.
So imagine my surprise when I spotted a withdrawal of $13.99 from someone or some corporation by the name of ZHOULIHUA.I could not for the life of me figure out what that charge was for. I looked through my records several months back to see if i had any other instances of ZHOULIHUA taking out funds, but alas, no other record of any similar transactions. So I called my bank to see if they had any information.
They could not find any more info than I had and the customer service rep asked me if I would like to start an official investigation. I decided to hold off, because I wanted to look into it further on my own and thought that maybe I would wake up in the middele of the night with an epiphany about who may have removed that $13.99.
Well, I didn't wake up in the middle of the night with an epiphany as anticipated BUT... when I logged into my checking account to see if this ZHOULIHUA had extracted any more money (sometimes these entities take out a little at a time so you don't notice it's missing), thankfully, no more money was gone. HOWEVER - to my surprise, the name ZHOULIHUA next to the charge for $13.99 now read:
WealthyAffiliate - $13.99
Apparently, that charge was for renewal for one of my domain names, and ZHOULIHUA is the company attached to the domain name registration. So, this is just a heads-up in case anyone else at WA sees a charge from someone named ZHOULIHUA. It's apparently Wealthy Affiliate-related.
Mystery solved!

Aha! Good investigative work Hal and I don't blame you for checking your bank account daily. I like your picture!
Thanks for sharing :)
Good afternoon Hal,
A really unusual name, glad the mystery is solved.

I think you have me confused with someone else. I don't have a cypto-currency biz. I do local video ads for small - medium businesses.
However; I did accept Bitcoin for one job, a few months ago. I charged $150 to create an animated logo and told the guy he could pay me in bitcoin.
A single bitcoin was worth about $3500 at the time. About a week later, the price had risen to 4500, so I took out $100 and left the remaining money in there.
A Bitcoin is now worth $19447.35 so I definitely made a little profit. I may leave it in a while longer. It's set to go up in value again in 2018.

Hi...when I saw the amount, a domain renewal was the first thing I thought of. I won't panic if I see a weird name.
