[TenTec] Phishing Attempt on list members

[Mike Schatzberg]

I hope I am not missing something. I have seen nothing untoward posted here so far. 

I screen every subscription for call sign. This takes several emails back and forth to do so because many new subscribers do not include their call signs as requested. 

In the last week alone, there were 6 membership requests that did not return email requests for call signs. 

I delete hundreds of postings each week from non subscribers, mostly from robots. 

I'm hoping nothing gets thru that shouldn't. 

73,
