[SBU Board] Sbuboard post from sales at hnbpub.com requires approval

Wed Apr 4 08:34:13 PDT 2018

I get about 1 email a month warning our website is expiring and to pay to keep it alive.  This might be as a result of the fact that in the past, as Unit Treasurer, I was the account holder for our domain account.  After bothering JC with these warnings several times, she convinced me they are bogus and I now just delete them.

This type of fraud seems to be more widespread.  This past week I got an email, seemingly from the D19 Board President, indicating I should contact a party in order to pay a vendor bill.  David Taylor somehow became aware of this email, determined it was spam/fraud, and warned Ralph and me to ignore/delete it.

I thought I was getting more of this stuff because I've reached the target age group (senility = more vulnerable), but I think it's just going on more everywhere.

Everyone please be careful!

Usually the answer is obviously no, but this is the first piece I can remember that is actually bridge related. Is your preference for me to block or let through something which is about bridge, but nothing to do with the board?
