I got the same email today about the Daytona reference check.

I would vouch for nobody (except maybe David SW and he doesn't need my approval) so I knew it was a scam.

I got this one today with a strange link. The funny thing is I got it in my mail but it's not in my inbox here at the forum.

I haven't logged in for a while. Got a PM similar to the above. Phishing scams are still active. Now I have to run and do a malware scan...
