Hello slot bloggers,

 

Included, you'll find a copy of the content of an e-mail, as well as the sender, I've received in my mailbox today.

As a Belgian, allow me, to ask you, fellow slotracers, on the other side of the big blue, for more information about this,

as well as whether this is a message to be "trusted".

Scale Auto Racing News and John Ford are known to me. I used to subscribe to the SARN magazine in the past.

The news of John Ford's death took me by surprise, and it is, of course, a very unfortunate thing.

Once again, someone we'd to let go, someone who has dedicated himself to our hobby and sport for years.

But what I've questions about in this e-mail are the following:

-the links that have been inserted

-the question to put me in the e-mail list

-as well as the link to the e-book of a certain Jeff Lerner to become a millionaire ??

Can anyone among you inform me about this ?

Did some among you recieved the same e-mail ?

Please, find below the content of that e-mail.

Hello, this is Linda Ford, wife of John Ford, publisher of Scale Auto Racing News for many years. I don't know if you had heard that he passed on 11/20/2020, but it has taken me a couple of months to brave tackling his computer to get the emails that were stored there. He was having problems in the last few years that I am just now understanding was due to the kidney failure and how the pollutants were affecting his thinking and I believe he was not able to respond to emails sent. I am hoping to sort through our files and put online as much of his work as I can. This will hopefully be able to be found at sarn.linmarsvcs.com once I am able to get started. Right now it is not yet a reality. If you want to be informed of this progress please subscribe to my email list request below with the link to the free ebook by Jeff Lerner on fastest way to become a millionaire. I am being helped in this endeavor by a large group of online entrepreneurs called Entre Nation if you would like to learn about this group and how they started here is a link to the free ebook by founder Jeff Lerner.

Thanks, Linda Ford

Someone is trying to trick you. I wouldn't even consider it.

Not interested in becoming a millionaire, but this seems pretty elaborate for a supposed scheme directed to - slot car racers(?). Maybe I missed something over the past few months, was John Fords passing discussed at all here on Slotblog (or whatever slot car Facebook pages there are)?

I received this same email a week ago.

 

I thought that it was unusual to say the least.
