[Elecraft] My Predicament

[John K9UWA]

The Scammers have HACKED Ricks Computer getting ahold of his Email Address book. 

Had same identical line of crap happen to another Non Radio type buddy of ours.

If anyone personally KNOW Rick and can call him on the PHONE tell him his computer is
effected as is his email.

Good Luck Rick in getting it all cleaned up. My buddy had to have the local puter geeks clean his computer and
also had to abandon his email address and get new one.
