Re: [lace] Alice Howell hacked?

Oh, that and so much more. Thank goodness we are not all as innocent as we used 
to be! Instead, we ask questions like:

- why is Alice trying to get me to buy a gift card at 5:42 a.m. Pacific time?
- Alice has a full life and many friends. Why would she need me to buy a gift 
card for her?
- Even if I did think Alice needed me to buy a gift card, there is no 
information as to where to have it sent so … how is this going to work, exactly?

I can’t figure out exactly how this phishing message was supposed to work, 
because usually you’d be given a link that would take you to a website that 
would pretend to sell you a game card while harvesting your credit card 
information, and that didn’t happen here - there’s no link in the message. 
Wondering if maybe our ancient major-domo is so old it didn’t process the link? 
Hmmm.

My guess is that Alice’s request for help buying a gift card for her “nephew” 
is totally bogus, since she (and I) are well beyond the age of having 
game-playing nephews!  

OUR nephews (if any) are CEOs and professionals!

Has anyone actually tried to call Alice on the phone?!  Or perhaps other 
Arachnids in the NW would have more info...

It definitely seems like an email from a hacked account. I would hesitate
to actually purchase the gift card without speaking with her directly!
Best,
Elena
