Consumer/Retail Alert on Rev. David Gibson

E-mail Scam: "Songs of the Mountain Flute Teacher Needed"
Trangressor's E-mail: david_gibson001@yahoo.com and/or john_sarantos@yahoo.com

There is a new scam being sent out via e-mail to INAFA members. The heading is: Songs of the Mountain Flute Teacher Needed. It is specific to the Native American flute, so it is someone with ill intentions toward the organization. We are working with Yahoo to find the identity of the culprit, even though we have a good idea already about who it is. In the meantime, do not respond to an e-mail that comes from "Rev. David Gibson" whose e-mail is: david_gibson001@yahoo.com When you respond to him, he gives INAFA's address for contact purposes and, I assume, to exchange monies. INAFA has nothing to do with this person. Here is a sample e-mail from this person and a return response from him when an INAFA member wrote him back:
