Hello everyone,
Just thought I'd let you know about some of the nonsense that gets
sent through email. I know its not sailing related but this group is
based on email so you might like to know. Be careful about the
emails
you read and which ones to take seriously.

This was prompted by an email I received as moderator, as did
probably
the other moderators. It was one of those "offers" to make one rich,
in terms of millions, if you help hide money, and you just have to
give all your contact and personal details. Needless to say, this is
nonsense, and it is dangerous in that if you gave out all these
details, you could be a victim of fraud. Don't believe things that
are too good to be true. Note that non-moderators should not have
got
this message.

On the subject of emails, please be careful of viruses (or virii).
There are many viruses out on the Internet now. The emails of this
group are stripped of all attachments, so they should be safe, but be
careful about any bizare links embedded in emails as well.

I know this is an off topic message, but I thought a friendly warning
might be appropriate.

On a lighter note, happy sailing and happy birthday to Ashley
Chapman.
I hope I can make it to the party.
Regards
Tim
