DANGER! SCAM Emails

1490, 21 Jan 2016


It appears that some of our RAFINO/RAFINCO members have had their email accounts hacked by malefactors.  I have received several emails from fellow Finance soldiers (mostly aol and yahoo accounts) that have a subject that is a tantilizing question pulled out of the air and has a link to a malicious website which, I suspect if clicked on, could cause you great grief.

Here are a couple of examples oif the emails that purposrt to be sent by members, but in fact were sent by the hacker:
