Mail Scam

Post by winston »

This is probably not the right place for this but I figured more people look here.........So I just got an email from Jerry Roller saying he wanted me to look at the picture of some steel players and wanted to know if I recognized any of them and to just click on the link and then let him know. Please do not do this. I am posting to make sure everyone is aware of this. thanks Winston May

Unless I’m sadly mistaken, Jerry Roller passed away a year ago.

Even more confusing, isn't Terry using Jerry's forum account (can't remember). I can't believe it's been almost a year since Jerry passed. I miss him.

I also have been getting emails from Jerry Roller, even after his passing. He was still alive when I got the first couple. I contacted him via the forum and let him know that I got a very suspicious email from an someone using his name. All he said was, "I don't know what to do about that". Still get them.
