Email Scams and Fraud

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Adam Phillips

Dear Members,

Today The Association was targeted by fraudsters using one of the Association members email address please see below:

“I really hope you get this fast. I could not inform anyone about my trip, because it was impromptu. I had to be in Madrid,Spain for a program. The program was successful, but my journey has turned sour. I misplaced my wallet on my way back to my hotel after I went for sight seeing. The wallet contained all the valuables I had. Now, my passport is in custody of the hotel management pending when I make payment.

I am sorry if i am inconveniencing you, but i have only very few people to run to now. i will be indeed very grateful if i can get a loan of 2,720 Euro from you. this will enable me sort my hotel bills and get my sorry self back home. I will really appreciate whatever you can afford in assisting me with. I promise to refund it in full as soon as I return. let me know if you can be of any assistance. Please, let me know soonest. Thanks so much.”

A number of emails followed to confirm this was not the member of the Association whos email address was being used.

This attempt to gain money has been reported to the Police by using the “Action Fraud” help line http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/

Please be aware of people contacting you asking for money and at no point transfer any money without confirming and talking to the person first.

Falklands….

Posted on April 2, 2012 by Adam Phillips

All of us associated with H.M.S. Argonaut are well aware of her history. I’m sure all of the ships company that served in the Falklands are thinking of their lost shipmates that paid the ultimate sacrifice. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of those two brave men and we can only hope that with time the pain will pass.

Secretary needed

Posted on November 2, 2011 by Adam Phillips

Having taken over the role some years back now I am unable to continue.

With increasing work and personal commitments I feel that I can not give the Association the focus it needs (something that has become apparent over the past 12 months) .

I feel very sad and guilty that if no one steps forward by the end of the year all Association business will stop and the Association will close down.

I am willing to support anyone willing to take over the day to day running of the Association with the continued maintenance of the Argonaut website.

Please contact me ASAP.
