Gentlemen,
I must report that I have fallen victim to email hackers, this matter is on going, but, I am still in a state of shock, I had thought my systems to be very secure indeed, it would seem, however, I was wrong!
I just want to make members, who I have had personal contact with, aware, that if they receive email, that appears to be from me and advises them to view attached documents, this email is quite spurious, it did not originate from me.
I live a very simple and humble life in the here in the shires, I do not upload anything using google documents, moreover, I would not ask any of you to "reveiw" any such documents and I do not have a company anywhere in North America dealing in property or real estate etc!
I am very sorry if any of you have had raised eyebrows today as a result of all this,
Kind regards to you all

Frank,

I was sorry to hear that. I did receive an email from you this morning and guessed it was not from you.

Best wishes

I was sorry to read of your problem and thank you for the warning. Like cultural vandalism, cyber crime seems to have no limit. Both our sons have been affected - identity theft for one and someone in China using a PayPal account for the other.

Regards
Brett

Thanks Frank for the heads up.

Shame a few geeks can cause such havoc in our brave new world. Trust you get the box of tricks fixed soon.

Cheers
Stephen
