NEW SCAM
A new scam is being sent out to posts. It’s an “Encrypted” email coming from Rich Huntley.
This is not from Commander Huntley, Department, or anyone affiliated with TAL Department of Texas.
Do not open this email as it will ask you for further information for you to read the email.
Delete it.
