I’’m heartsick about all of this, especially Kathy. It/s awful. I’ve been engulfed in some battles of my own and should have responded when I got Linda’s email inquiring about it.

Most of these "gift card" scams are not in the purchase, but are used to transfer money. An example is when you might get a cry for help from someone you know asking for gift cards. This is actually a scammer who has stolen your friends identity. They say they are in a bind somewhere and gift cards are the easiest way to transfer money to them. Of course, the person asking is not really somebody you know. I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.

That is the number.Sent from my Galaxy -------- Original message --------From: Michael Rodrigues via Unit559board <unit559board(a)bridgemojo.com> Date: 12/28/22 6:32 PM (GMT-08:00) To: Unit 559 board discussion list <unit559board(a)bridgemojo.com> Cc: Michael Rodrigues <rodfallbrook(a)yahoo.com> Subject: [Unit559board] Re: GIFT CARD SCAM I got one today, using 'Jan W' saying that she wanted to give gift cards to the people who worked hard for the group. Said it was between her and me and not to tell anyone, wanted my opinion. I said I had none and I did not get anything further. The phone of this person is 909-834-4660.Caution on this number.Michael On Wednesday, December 28, 2022, 01:57:47 PM PST, Roy Wilson <unit559webmaster(a)gmail.com> wrote: Most of these "gift card" scams are not in the purchase, but are used to transfer money.  An example is when you might get a cry for help from someone you know asking for gift cards.  This is actually a scammer who has stolen your friends identity.  They say they are in a bind somewhere and gift cards are the easiest way to transfer money to them.  Of course, the person asking is not really somebody you know.I’ve played bridge more than half my life.  The lesser half I wasted.> On Dec 28, 2022, at 10:15 AM, Lisawalker <lisawalkerlac(a)gmail.com> wrote:> > Who did she buy them from?  Lots of scams online.  Best to purchase gift cards in a store.  Sorry this happened to her.  Hopefully she can shut down the credit card used to buy them as fraud. > > Sent from my iPad> >> On Dec 28, 2022, at 10:08 AM, janet wickersham <wickershamjanet(a)gmail.com> wrote:>> >> Good Morning, Everyone,>> >> Kathy Cresto just bought $2,000 worth of gift cards.  This is a scam.  Please disregard, and I’m hoping she can et harmony back.>> _______________________________________________>> Unit559board mailing list -- unit559board(a)bridgemojo.com>> To unsubscribe send an email to unit559board-leave(a)bridgemojo.com> _______________________________________________> Unit559board mailing list -- unit559board(a)bridgemojo.com> To unsubscribe send an email to unit559board-leave(a)bridgemojo.com_______________________________________________Unit559board mailing list -- unit559board(a)bridgemojo.comTo unsubscribe send an email to unit559board-leave(a)bridgemojo.com

Jan, your email account has been hacked. You probably cannot even change your password, either as the hacker has access to your account and would be able to see the change. Please create a new account… and for anyone else, please know that Gmail has the most secure accounts of any email provider. BTW, this same scam occurred with Sandra Franciscus, but it was her email account that was used to scam the people in her address book and she and I caught it early enough that nobody was swindled.
