Bill, I hope you have a virus scan to check your computer. > > Marcel > Marcel I do have protection, but possibly not up-to-date enough. That seems to be a day-to-day project these days. Macs are fairly bullet proof as the $%%&* that design this stuff go after the 90%+ community (Microsoft), so I perhaps tend to be a bit more lax than I should be. Outside of e-mail, I sneaker-net files with other professionals, but have been bitten on occasion even then. As to fraud, Alex and I live in the same city, and do face-to-face cel nav on a semi-regular basis, so not clear what scam or fraud is likely in this case. I do appreciate your warning/concern. If you have more information about the reason for the alert, or the meaning of "spoofed" I would appreciate knowing/learning the details. Thank you very much, Bill
