Think our complete list got phished.
Title changed to reflect problem.

I received that email this morning also. I'm not an instructor but I was assisting one for WW school and my email address appears in the staff list here:

That's three now. Be interesting to see where it originated. Style of wording indicated some sort phishing scam. Handle with care!!!

Attn Sir.
I got your contact displayed on a website while surfing for an instructor for my 15 and 18 yrs old Chlidren. My Chlidren will be ready to comply and get good Training from you, so therefore I want to secure your Services in giving them some (Arkansas Canoe Club Instruction).
Let me know what your availability is like, get back with details about your program and your contact details.
I await your reply.
Regards
Mr. Frank Brunc

When I saw that the name on the FROM address did not match the name on the so-called signature line, I immediately became suspicious. Also the language had a hint of the person in Africa who wants me to help transfer funds to the USA. At this point I knew I was dealing with either a spammer or a kayaker, so I deleted it.

I think I should be offended, but, I'm not quite sure.........
I've got to go now, headed to the bank to withdraw all of my funds. You wouldn't believe it but the Prince of Kenya had a falling out with his family and if I send him $50,000 he's going to cut me in on 1/2 interest in his family fortune in Encyte stock!!!! Plus, I'll grow some hair on my bald spot..........

Got one too. The part I liked was the that " My 15 and 18 yr old chlidren are ready to comply to instruction"! Not any teenagers from around here!
