Confirmed scam. I talked to Linda Richardson by 'phone a couple of hours
ago. John's email account was somehow hacked and apparently all of his
contacts have been hit with that $400 request. Linda said their 'phone's
been ringing all day; hopefully everyone has seen through that transparent
falsehood.
Be careful -- the internet is CRAZY these days -- getting to be ALMOST as
bad as our politics!
