More of this kind of posting have been showing up on the list lately.  How
is it getting on since list members have to confirm before the message gets
posted?  Is there some way to stop it?

Jerome,

 

Rest assured, this is phishing, or otherwise known as a scam!!!  Do not
reply.  It is not personal, but broadcast to millions.  Somehow, Museum-L
has been compromised, and spam is being transmitted.  As general info, do
not EVER respond to any winnings emails, emails about needing an agent in
your area to transact business, emails about help moving money from another
country, or any other "too good to be true" emails.  They are all spam,
trying to get you to release personal info so you can be fleeced at worst or
compromised at best.

To Whom It May Concern:

 

If this is real, I would like to see a link or proof that this is real.
There is now way that I could just up and send all of that kind of
information through an email.  Proof please!
