1) Warning: Email Scam Targets Best Buy

The FBI is currently investigating a new email scam.  Victims are lured to a Best Buy website and input their credit card information.  The site, however, is a clever fake expressly designed for the purpose of inducing you to divulge your credit card data.

If you have replied to an email with: "BestBuy Order... Fraud Alert" in the subject line, you should contact your bank or credit card company immediately.

3) SIG Stuff

Top of Page

There is now a collection of 37 weeks of this weekly bulletin on our website.  While the bulk of the information contained in these missives is specific to our members and deals with current events in our club, every now and then I post useful information and links (at least I'd like to think so).

I created 2 new pages to help you revisit any information previously published:

The Archives page (www.tampa-bay.org/boardbiz/archive.htm) contains links to Bulletin articles.
The Links page (www.tampa-bay.org/boardbiz/links.htm) contains a collection of useful hyperlinks.

Archives entries are in reverse chronological order (newest to oldest). You can find the article you are looking for by date or by title, and I have also supplemented some titles with keywords so that you can use your browser's "Find" function.
