BEWARE
OF ACCOUNT HACKING
Some
people in the club have had their email accounts hacked, causing emails
to be sent to recipients in their address book stating that they have
been mugged and money should be sent to a particular account. It is
most probable that their password was compromised, probably by a direct
attack but possibly by some other means.
It can be as simple as someone phoning you to ask for your password or
an email request from someone pretending to be from BT asking for your
private details - never give any details of your account out.
