[SFDXA] Scammers

[wb4ehg]

DCARC members

We have had scammers try to impersonate our officers (Tom and Fred) and 
get us to buy Credit Card cash cards and read the numbers to them. Our 
officers will never ask a club member to do so. First we all have 
personal friends to go to. Should we need to go to a fellow officer say 
Tom to me, we have more personal way to make contact.

Never believe a request comes from one of us.

One of the security experts I follow preaches the "Trust No One" 
philosophy and he is right!.
