Fontlab's forum address used

  Just a warning for you all. I got something in the email today (12.30.08) from a scammer using the LINK to the fontlab forums. Now I KNOW all of you are smart enough to catch this garbage, but this is the first time any of it was actually referenced back to something I use. It blows my mind as to how sophisticated (and still so very DUMB: from "Miss Blessing Hanukah" Oh please!)  some of these scams are getting.

  If I posted this in the wrong place, please forgive me. I know it has nothing to do with the forums per se, but someone should be made aware of it.
