Year end surprise

What a way to end the year.
I got an E-mail from my old friend and Engine Masters boss asking
for some help.
You guys know him as head of NHRA technical services.
Lonnie Grim
About the time I was going to read the e-mail
I get a call from R.J. Sledge my working partner and friend who also worked for Lonnie at EMC.
Did you get an E-mail from Lonnie? Read it he says....
It Says:
How are you doing today? I hope you had a lovely Christmas.

I need a little favor from you and hope you are not busy?

Thank you ,
Lonnie Grim

After RJ replied we find out he wanted money and was locked out of his bank account and his phone was broken.... Poor Lonnie.
If you were on his e-mail list you probably got one, too...RJ and I were thinking about a Go Fund Me account for him...

Yep, it was a scam, Lonnie's good name has been hacked and abused by the internet.
We did get a good laugh at the wording... Didn't sound a thing like my Arkansas friend...
