    1. Re: [LDR] Emails to LDR members possible scam
    2. The messages are coming to me, too. They are not coming through the LDRoots list itself, but appears to be a list member who must have a number of LDRoots members' email addresses in his address book, which has apparently been hijacked by a spambot or virus. I will send him an email, but the best defense at the moment may just be to set that particular email address ([email protected]) to "ignore" or "reject" in your email program.

As Mike said, the distribution list includes several recognizable LDR addresses, as well as others. Offhand, I don't recognize the AOL sender's name, but maybe Shari does, as maybe an LDR lister, and might contact the party...
