I sent him an email, to the only addy I have @ S&S, but I think this requires a phone call, if his whole address book is compromised, someone may fall for it...

Hi Shawn,

Try the gmail add on his web-site?

Shevill sent me one last week saying he was only monitoring his gmail now.

What a lousy thing to do to someone. If you could just get your hands on these scammers.......

It's a scam. This same scam has been doing the rounds on Facebook for the past few months. Ignore it. If it's urgent, he'd ring you. Common sense guys!

They're trying to let him know his name is possibly being used in a scam - None of the posts suggested replying to the potential scam email.

He knows about it, someone in our Yahoo Mallincam group has contacted him about this issue, this email scam has been sent to our members over in the states as well. Shows how tricky these scammers are getting.
Common sense always tells you but unfortunately some poor buggers get caught.

Regards Matt.

As long as he knows about it...all is well...
