Just received the following email which is a ploy to gain access to your personal email account provider login information. The link in the email (which I removed) directs you to a bogus website page, certainly not google as portrayed on this page layout, requesting you to enter your email address and password in order to be able to view a shared document, see screenshot below.


Here is the email:

Perfect timing, when everyone is busy answering emails and won't be paying attention.
Heads up, the crooks are always circling.
 
I also just told responders to beware of a member that joined today, but gives no info on himself and is supposedly looking for 2 or 3 to go on a safari with in June - August.
 
Thanks for the heads up!
 
They are getting better and better at it too, even spammers. I have somehow gotten on some spam list and even though I block each sender, they generate new ones as quickly as I block them.
 
I also got this mail sent to me . Scott luipen is a hunting agent in china .

... once they hack his original address, they copy the contacts and can send repeatedly from new e-mail addresses, or even worse sell to other scam artist!!!

A week or so ago I got a "discounted Rhino hunt" offer from AH. Was that legit or did we get hacked and maybe linked to something PETA would like a prospective Rhino hunter to click on?

Yes it was legit as the email came from me/AH with the senders email being AfricaHunting.com<info@africahunting.com>. I send about twice a month links to hunt specials posted on AH to members.

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.

They are yours. Please send your contact info and which pair you want.
Thanks,
Ross
