[PPRAANet] More phishing attempts

[Glenn]

Tis the season to be scamming, Fa,la, la or however the lyrics go! My 
wife recently got what she thought was a legitimate message, on Messenger,

from my sister in law. Something about send us $$$ and you'll receive 
$100,000 back! She "ALMOST" fell for it. It turns out the my sister in laws

Messenger account got hacked. Sister-in-law notified Messenger, and all 
authorities to this fact! Slightly off topic but shows it's spreading 
_/*"ALL"*/_ over!!


I, personally, haven't received anything "recently" in regards to this 
matter! Has the club webpage been hacked?? Do we need to further 
restrict access??

I went to the club page and tried to access club members email 
*_w_**_ithout_* being signed in. It took me to a site to apply for 
membership ergo "NO ACCESS"!!

Not signed in "NO ACCESS"!

The ONLY email addies that are visible without signing in is for Board 
Members/ Officers! Click and go.

So are _*all*_ members being targeted or is it just Board Members/ 
Officers getting this "Garbage"?

"IF", big if, _*all*__**_members are randomly receiving this scam, in my 
humbleopinion the site has been compromised because if not signed in, 
one at least, I can not access all members emails!
