Brandon Butler is OK – E-mail Scam

POMA member Brandon Butler has been the victim of an e-mail hacker. The hacker has sent out a notice that Brandon is stranded in the Philippines and needs money. This is not true. Brandon is fine and at his home in the U.S. Here’s a copy of the e-mail sent by the hacker.

I really hope you get this fast. I could not inform anyone about our trip, because it was impromptu. we had to be in Manila  Philippines for a program. The program was successful, but our journey has turned sour. we misplaced our wallet and cell phone on our way back to the hotel we lodge in after we went for sight seeing. The wallet contained all the valuables we had. Now, our passport is in custody of the hotel management pending when we make payment.

I am sorry if i am inconveniencing you, but i have only very few people to run to now. i will be indeed very grateful if i can get a loan of $1,850 USD from you. this will enable me sort our hotel bills and get my sorry self back home. I will really appreciate whatever you can afford in assisting me with. I promise to refund it in full as soon as I return. let me know if you can be of any assistance. Please, let me know soonest. Thanks so much..
