Warning: be careful of messages like this: sawma.co.za quickly verify your e-mail

[Elma Marais]

Dear SAWMA members,

 

Prof. Kerley informed me of an email asking you to update your WordPress account. I have informed our web host of this to see if they can address it, but please don’t respond to emails like the one Prof Kerley received below.

 

Kind regards,

Elma Marais

Hi Elma

Please see below for a rather crude attempt to use the SAWMA identity to plant malware. I suggest that you warn the members to be careful of this.

All the best

Graham
