Assistance Needed !

I am sure this is a scam. I have seen it before.
Any GMCers should be aware of this and don’t buy any gift cards and give the numbers to the sender who is posing as John Richardson with a gmail address.

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!
