DON'T be fooled by someone who pretends to be a fellow member looking for help. I will send this notice to my emai provider to alert them to the scam.

Re: Caution!! Scammer at work
I got the same E-mail this morning. He was asking for me to answer a question. I did not open a relpy. I did not know this person, and for that reason I sent the E-mail to the junk.

Me too. I'm sure it was not sent from the original Smith. Likely a counterfeit Smith.
