[Jacob-list] list serve scam?

[Williams family]

For what it's worth, the scam did not pass through the jacob-list. Only subscribers can post messages to the list, and I see them all. There are literally 100's of attempted spam message rejected every day. Nobody (except me) can see the list of subscribers, so your address is safe from here. Most likely, the perpetrator got into Carl's address book, which likely contains the addresses of many of those of us who are also on the list. 

Bottom line, don't trust anything suspicious you get through email.

  Hi All
  Did anyone else receive an odd email supposedly from Carl Fosbrink's email account?  I suspect either the yahoo group account or possibly Carl's email and/or jacobsheep list serve might have been scammed....


  it looks like a request to send emergency money to Carl in England; it resembles a scam that we saw at my college using a job candidate's email but turned out to be fraudulent and not really sent by the candidate.....


  The email details say that it was sent from yahoo and to yahoo so am not quite sure that the list serve jacobsheep.com has been used.


  If not, Carl are you safe and sound?
