Caution!! Scammer at work
I just got an email from someone who is calling himself Larry Smith. note similar email. He is asking for Amazon gift card exchange BS
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.
Merry Christmas to MTFCA

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.
