[AveHurley]

BEWARE ~! I just received this in my private email & it is written the same way and form that I have seen similar scammers use.
"western union' an amount they promise to repay~
Now I dont believe Joanna would have sent this, so unless we hear clarification from her. I want to warn everyone not to do what this letter requests, because it is obviously a fraud.

I am posting it for edification so you can see for yourself ~ !! AveHurley
Now it was sent to me but addressed to someone else's yahoo addy!!!

Notice ~ no name of the hotel~ no address - scammers typically do this!
If this was really Joanna she would have addressed her own friends or the entire list, through Phil or myself and would have made reference to the group and those she knows on it.
This scammer is using her name and I wrote to warn of of it as well so she can tell her other friends before someone falls for the scam and wires the money or part of it to the thief~!

Joanna I am so sorry someone is using your name this way~
