[SBU Board] Scan Attempt!

[JC Chupack]

Yeah, back in the day, I used to get a lot of emails from ANN ROMEO about
buying her gift cards for some emergency, too. ��

 As a heads up to all board members, be very cautious if an email looks
suspicious and seems to be from anyone on the board. The gift card thing
seems to be the main thing they try to do.

Unfortunately, the ACBL publishes board officer email addresses without any
protection against scraping and spam, and this is what results.

Good call, Bill. I am always JC, not Jc. ��
