Strange email supposedly from Mark Briggs
Hi All,
?
Hope this finds you all well. This morning I received a strange email from Mark. It suggested an email exchange between us as it said Mark had laryngitis and the flu. I have seen these scams before so I rang him and sure enough he doesnt have any flu symtoms and could speak :0) and he didnt send the email. I also got one from Keith Broomfield? an hour or so later asking whether I knew what was going on and indicating he too had received the same email. I have suggested to Mark to reset his passowrd on his email account and set up two factor login.
?
So if you receive something like the above - just delete.
?
Mark also suggested what a few of us were thinking anyway and that was to look at say two year reunions instead of the current five year ones - we may look at something for 2026. And for the riverina locals I will be looking to have a local get together in October some time and will email that out toward the end of September. Gee, the damn year is getting away on us :0)

Thanks John.? I wonder what the IQ of AI is now. The scammers are getting cluey. We may need to resort to rhyming slang and colloquialisms for verification.? On Fri, 16 Aug 2024 at 1:11?PM, John Eyles via <vk2yw=[email protected]> wrote:
