[Rotary] John Porter's Comprimised email asking for money

[Bruce Lewis]

John Porter, you need to change your password for your email on AOL and other Rotarianis: do not send money to John Porter as requested in the scam email today.

John is in Mendo, not Ukraine.

We got this information with the help our MCN Manager Sage Stratham who is looking out for all of you on the Coast.

Thanks Sage (see his message below)

We had to be in Ukraine for a Tour..the program was successful, but our journey has turned sour. We misplaced our wallets and cell phones on our way back to the hotel after we went for sight seeing. It was a terrible experience but luckily for me I left my passport in the hotel room.
