I just got it and I did delete it. Thanks for the heads-up! Jane Collins --- On Mon, 8/23/10, Cheri Mello <gfsche...@gmail.com> wrote:

To: "Azores Genealogy" <Azores@googlegroups.com> Date: Monday, August 23, 2010, 8:42 PM There's been a couple of things going around in the genealogy community. One is a possible bot or virus. A message is sent out with just a URL. I think that they are just selling pharmaceuticals. No text, no nothing. If you get one of these, delete it. If it comes through on the list, I will delete it out of the archives, but you need to delete it out of your inbox. There is nothing I can do if someone's computer has a problem and is sending out the URL, except moderate the entire list, looking for messages that contain just a URL. The other is a scam out of Nigeria, stating that the person was robbed in London and needs money to pay their hotel bill. This is an email hack. Don't respond to these messages. Delete them. If you are worried about the person sending the email, email them under their alternate email if you know it, or call them on the phone. This is an FYI since one URL came through to the list. The other I caught and deleted. The Nigerian thing about being in London was on another list and also mentioned by Dick Eastman.
