Fake "Giveway" Email - Sun Mar 2 21:28:42 2003
An email is circulating that states we are giving away memberships. The
entire thing is fake and is an attempt only to gain player passwords. The
URL's listed in the mail that contain cjb.net are not a part of our site.
You may want to post an announcement or a forum posting for your players so
that they aware that this mail is fake and that they should not fill out
the form for the "prizes".

As a reminder, we will NEVER ask for a player's password via email, and any
site that is not a direct part of http://www.myleague.com/ or
http://www.igl.net/ is not ours. When in doubt, check with us first. When
something sounds too good to be true, it usually is!
