Richard wasn't hacked. If you look at the header of his email, the sender's
address is not his. This is a common phishing approach because a lot of people
don't look and a lot of mobile email clients make it very hard to see.
Somewhere, Richard's name and his association with BVARC got scraped and added
to a list. That list was used to spoof an email in his name to our list hoping
you might reply with your Zelle or Chime info in order to be "helpful."
It's exceeding unlikely that this originated from any system or service that
Richard controls.

Eddie,
I am traveling out, and will be back on 6/24. Can you cover a bill of $920.00
for our Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club web/program service charge today? I
will reimburse you afterwards when I return.
The vendor needs the payment to be processed with Zelle or Chime let me know
which of the payment options is best for you.
