Good afternoon.  It has been several years since I've posted on the board.  Today, I received an email from someone claiming to be George Tonkovic, asking if I check my email.  I replied that I did, and asked him what was up.  I received another email from him stating that he was trying to obtain an Apple gift card for a friend's daughter who has stage 3 cancer.  He claimed that both of her parents died of Covid-19, and that the local stores are out of the gift cards.  He asked if I would be willing to obtain one for him/her, and that if I would; he would send me another email with the amount requested.

Now, over the past few years, I have sent George several tank item; free of charge.  So, although I have had prior dealings with him; this just sounded like a textbook scam email, and I didn't reply to it again.  I wanted to let you folks know in case you receive something similar.  -Mike

TXS for the heads up Mike, yea, that sounds like a complete scam for sure.
