Community Fundraiser for Nepal - Report
$10,000.00 Raised
On Friday night 1st May at the Waterfront Cafe at Church Point a
spontaneous event was organised by local residents to raise funds for
the Nepal Earthquake Oxfam fund.
Once again the generosity of Scotland Island and Offshore Artists was
overwhelming with over 40 items of Artworks being donated for a Silent
Auction which raised a whopping $6717.00 and in addition generous
donations of goods and services from local businesses were raffled to
raise over $2700.00.
The Waterfront Cafe hosted the event and donated
$5 from the sale of every Pizza bringing to a total raised $10,000.00.
Local musicians donated their talents to entertain the crowds.

People personally donated their skills; Jackie at the store gave a
homecooked meal for 6 as well as kids offering a night of babysitting
including dinner.
A special thank you to Nettie and Amy for their significant
contribution of time and energy to help make this all happen.

Phishing eMail Scam Will Ask You To Press Big Green ‘Play’ Button
Don’t Press it !
If you get an email saying you have new messages from WhatsApp, you
might want to think twice about clicking the big green “play” button,
even if the email comes from a known address.
The
message will look similar to this....
The emails seem to be part of a well-documented malware scam, and over
the past weeks an increasing number of Yellowknifers have reported
receiving them, even if they don’t use WhatsApp smartphone messaging.
According to a post on the WhatsApp website: “We do not send you emails
about chats, voice messages, payment, changes, photos, or videos. You
will only receive an email from WhatsApp if you initiate a conversation
with us via our dedicated email channels, such as one of our support
channels.
“Unwanted messages come in many forms, such as spam, hoax and phishing
messages. All these types of messages are broadly defined as
unsolicited messages that try to deceive you and prompt you to act in a
certain way.”
It seems the scam uses a phishing technique that allows hackers to
access people’s email accounts and send emails from them.
So just because the email comes from a friend, doesn’t mean you should
click on it.
