Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If the below message is also a scam, sorry, but IMHO, better to be safe than sorry.
Listowner, Jacque

Subject: [OSTF] Roll Call Hoax
Just thought I'd forewarn everyone that someone is causing problems on some of the other lists. A request supposedly coming from the listowner (who was actually away on vacation at the time) at a Yahoo.com address asks all subscribers to send in just their name and e-mail address because of some
kind of problem. Afterwards, the person making the request dissappears without a trace. It is a complete hoax and apparently an attempt to gather e-mail addresses. Some of the subcribers are now receiving more spam, including pornography. If you get this request, do not respond to it.
To those of you on my email list. I hope my computer didn't send this out to
you, but just in case.... There is a new virus that is sent through an
attachment in email. It automatically sends itself out and I got it in
Spanish. I'm enclosing what it says in English and in Spanish, just in case.
Whatever you do, don't open the attachment. I tried to, but I don't think
anything happened. I couldn't get it to open and then I ran a current virus
scan and sure enough, it was a virus. Please delete it if you get it and run
a virus scan just in case. I hope I didn't pass it on unknowingly, but if I
did, I'm REALLY sorry. Rosana
