Warning: Scam Circulating Port
Lincoln Businesses Local Businesses are currently receiving a chain letter that requests owners/managers to send a With Comps slip to a seven year old boy named John Craig who is suffering terminal cancer and wants to make the Guinness Book of Records. Businesses are also asked to forward the chain letter to ten other businesses. Businesses are advised to ignore the chain letter and to not forward it on. The letter is a scam that has been running in different forms since 1990. The recipient can use the information on the With Comps Slips to set up databases for advertising, scam emails, email viruses or for setting up bank accounts, fake identification, etc. For more information on this particular scam do a 'Google' search on John Craig. For more information on scams go to www.ocba.sa.gov.au |

Burma relief effort Following the devastating cyclone that hit Burma earlier this year Liz made a personal donation to assist in the relief effort. Liz had travelled into Burma in August 2007 when she visited an orphanage and she was very keen to ensure that these children were helped as much as possible. Recently Liz was sent the picture left with a note to say that the balance of the money from her donation went towards the purchase of a small sampan for villagers who lived in the delta area hit by the cyclone. The sampan has been named Geoff and Liz! |
