I just received an email from MNSFA president and thought I would share it here to warn everyone possible about this new scam. It is an email that will appear to be from SAF but is NOT.Here is the email warning I got, and also a copy of the scam email.

I've gotten this email several time in my spam folder and just deleted it. If I get another one I'll let you know. I really didn't pay much attention to it since I'm not a member of SAF.
