I am sorry to have found a suspicious post today. It had no subject and only a

link in the text. Clicking on the text led to a link that wanted to 'scan' my

computer so I closed that window immediately. The post has been deleted so I

hope it won't appear in the Daily Digest, but for those who receive Individual

Emails, this may have already been sent to you.

The member who's email this came from has been placed back on moderation so this

ought not to happen again, but please do be aware as you read emails with links

contained.

Its entirely possible that this member's email address has been hacked (Yahoo is

quite subject to this) which has occurred before. The quickest way to stop this

if this happens to anyone here is to change the email address for this group.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but such is the facts of using a FREE group site.

BEST wishes - Katcha (moderator)

yes I notified the member and hope that she will be able to continue here

without this being a problem again.
