[TheForge] Watch out for this s p a m!

[Richardson, Grover]

All they have to do is to grab an email address from any email that they have received and can spoof it.  When folk send out emails that copy a bunch of their friends, this is prime hunting ground for "them."

All the best

I just got an email with the subject line, "Terrible Grief.....Ray Noble"
allegedly from Ray Noble, recounting how his money was stolen in a foreign country, etc., etc.  boo hoo.

Well, the only person I knew by this name was a stalwart of MASA who passed away a few years ago.  I'm guessing his email account was hijacked since his death and now everybody on his mailing list is getting these emails.

Obviously it's a scam.  I'll be notifying the Secret Service about this, but in the meantime, be careful.
