Hi
This is going to all the groups I run or the ones I am a member of.
I have received an email such as the text from this one which fooled me, it seemed so genuine, it starts like this:
Can i ask a quick favour from you?
I responded to it, it seemed so genuine but read on
Thanks for your quick response, it's my friend's birthday and I need to get her an Apple Gift Card for her as a birthday gift, but I am having problems purchasing online and I'm traveling right now. Can you help me get it at any supermarket, Sainsbury, Tesco, Asda, Post office & stores close to you? I promise to pay it as soon as I get back. Kindly let me know if you can handle this on my behalf. So, I can let you know what to do with the gift voucher once you have it. Am only looking to spend ?200, I promise to pay it back as soon as I get back. Please let me know if you can handle this.
Ok, it appears some members accounts have been hacked, if you see any messages like this one, just ignore and delete it. If any members see anything like this and you suspect that somebody's account has been hacked, if it is somebody you know personally, let them know, they may not be aware of it but don't use the original email address as they won't or may not get the message. Don't click on any links in the email and don't do what I did and respond to it, it is very easy to get conned. If any messages come through on the group, forward them to one of us so we can check them out.
Regards
Adrien
