I checked my e-mail this morning and saw two e-mails from Jeff Turner. I will not share the contents of this e-mail. I only ask if the rest of VATUSA received these e-mails.

 

The contents indicated to me that someone has hijacked his address and used it for malicious purposes. Someone please confirm this.

Jay,

 

I am sure you and I were not the only ones to receive this VERY childish email. I will not comment, because anything I have to say is NOT politically correct. It does appear though, that 'little Johnny' did not get enough attention while growing up.

The web site was littered with some pretty awful postings on the front page. Someone obviously hijacked his email and also the web site. It has since been removed. I hope the culprit is found and well you know the rest

Gents,

 

Yes, someone hacked the php code on the VATUSA website and sent a email on my behalf, division wide... Well, almost Division wide...

 

It's truly sad that someone would do something like this, but, I can only imagine what really is going on in this persons life to take it out on all of us... I'm guessing it's really a call for help... If they had only just asked, it would have been given with out question.

 

Don't worry whoever you are... We will pray for you and hope that help is on the way to you to help you solve your real, deeper issues...

 

As far as everyone else, I'm sorry for having your bandwidth wasted and if there are ever any questions about the validity of any email from VATUSA, please do not hesitate to ask...

Jeff-

 

I am sorry that you have had to go throught that; obviously someone has an extremely foul sense of humor.

 

It says alot about our organization when people find it funny to do such a thing, and take personal attacks when this place was set up to enjoy a HOBBY. It should remain just that and it not to be taken so seriously that you would feel the need to do such a thing to anybody.

 

Thanks Jeff for taking the higher ground-i hope you figure out who did this.

We did... Thanks a lot and they are no longer on the network and the legal paperwork is in it's final stages...

 

Thanks for your support from you Tracy, as well as the many emails that I've received from others...

 

Leading the way.... VATUSA...
