Recent Scam Email “BE AWARE AT ALL TIMES FOR SCAMS”
I refer to the recent email purporting to be from myself ie George Birchall with regard to recipients purchasing an “Apple e-gift card” for , supposedly a friend of mine who was down with liver cancer as it was her forthcoming birthday
Maureen and I were on holiday at the time the email went out , there was not even any “internet connection” on the ship on that day.
We received , whilst on holiday , telephone calls , texts and emails (received once the internet was reconnected)
Friends in Australia , United States and UK had received emails and several made contact with us to determine whether I had sent the email
Obviously , I advised all who contacted us by whatever means that the email was a “SCAM” and that it had not come from me obviously our email address had been compromised
Even today 07/07 I have had calls with regard to the email and I have advised all that it was a “SCAM”
Could I suggest that , if any member gets similar emails from anybody (U3A or not) that they , before doing anything , clicking on links etc , gets in touch with the person indicated in the email to verify that the email is from them and that it is or is not a “scam” This is the method that Maureen and I have adopted for several months now as we probably get half a dozen telephone calls and texts/emails every week
Please feel free to discuss any concerns with me if you so wish and seek my assistance if you have fallen for the scam
I BELIEVE ONE MEMBER UNFORTUNATELY PAID THE AMOUNT REQUETED BUT THIS HAS SINCE BEEN REFUNDED
Kind Regards.
George Birchall
Sadly another warning.
Please take note of this important warning from a friend.
In view of recent events, we can not afford to let down our guard.

WHAT IS LIVERPOOL ART FAIR?
Liverpool Art Fair is a large scale, annual art exhibition, selling affordable paintings, prints and sculptures by artists from across the region. All artwork is under £2000 and we have a large section under £200 with limited edition prints starting at just £25, so there really is something for all budgets.
