A note from the list admin re scams

Dear All,

The recent list post from Jeong-Hwa Lee's address is a well-known hoax, due 
to someone apparently having hijacked her e-mail account.  Please do not 
give money (it will not go to her!?!!) and do not otherwise respond to the 
message.

Unfortunately, from a list admin standpoint, the typical anti-virus and spam 
filters cannot protect against a malicious message actually sent to Funknet 
from someone's real e-mail address.  I've put the address on Funknet's 
'moderated' status until this is resolved, so that no more hoax messages 
will come to the list.

Let's end this topic now.
