You may not know me and you are probably wondering why you are getting this e mail, right? I’m a hacker who cracked your email and devices a few months ago. Do not try to contact me or find me, it is impossible, since I sent you an email from YOUR hacked account. I setup a malware on the adult vids (porno) web-site and guess what, you visited this site to have fun (you know what I mean). While you were watching videos, your internet browser started out functioning as a RDP (Remote Control) having a keylogger which gave me accessibility to your screen and web cam. After that, my software program obtained all information. You entered a passwords on the websites you visited, and I intercepted it. Of course you can will change it, or already changed it. But it doesn’t matter, my malware updated it every time. What did I do? I backuped device. All files and contacts. I created a double-screen video. 1st part shows the video you were watching (you’ve got a good taste haha . . .), and 2nd part shows the recording of your web cam. exactly what should you do? Well, in my opinion, $1000 (USD) is a fair price for our little secret. You’ll make the payment by Bitcoin (if you do not know this, search “how to buy bitcoin” in Google). My Bitcoin wallet Address: 1MBmZsY5NdBc4swF6rJ8jyLatigooBUUKs (It is cAsE sensitive, so copy and paste it) Important: You have 48 hour in order to make the payment. (I’ve a unique pixel in this e mail, and at this moment I know that you have read through this email message). To track the reading of a message and the actions in it, I use the facebook pixel. Thanks to them. (Everything that is used for the authorities can help us.) If I do not get the BitCoins, I will certainly send out your video recording to all of your contacts including relatives, coworkers, and so on.

Dear sir, All my efforts to reach you on telephone explain in details did not work out I deemed it wise to send this email. I am Mrs Fatima Ahmed the wife to Ibrahim Ahmed who died last week. Before the death of my late husband he called the attention of me and my son Ibrahim Jr. He disclose to us that he has 16 Million USD cash in a save he intended to build refinery. He instructed us never to let anybody whosoever to know about the existence of the funds. He instructed us never to allow his brothers or any person to be aware of the funds. He instructed us to look for a trust worthy person who can help us with expert advice and security to invest the funds in his country in an investment that can yield income. He instructed us to offer 25% of the funds to whosoever that will help us receive the funds in his account and invest it for us with total trust, honesty and secret. We have tried to deposit it in the bank here and use bank to bank wire it out but all the banks here are destroyed only government banks are open and if they see this money they will seize it. The Americans are leaving Syria with all their belongings, we are left here with little or no security protections. I have discussed with a United Nations diplomat who agrees to help us move the funds through diplomatic cargo out of Syria to Turkey, United Kingdom, or Ghana in West Africa. We need to know if you can handle the transaction or we look for another person. If you can handle it let me know so that we can discuss details and finalize arrangement with him. There is no risk involved, we are from good and respectful family we are not terrorist that is why the diplomat agree to help and he gave 100% assurance that everything will work perfect if we move it now, we need to use this opportunity Americans are moving their belongings out of Syria and move the funds out also. Contact me so that if I can stop further negotiations and give you details. Please when replying use the subject: Attention: Mrs Fatima Ahmed I am waiting for your reply. Fatima

Personal Invitation to Associations World Congress, Gothenburg, Sweden, 7-9 April
by Damian Hutt 30 Jan '19

30 Jan '19

Dear Prof. Hvarregaard I started the Associations Congress Series over 12 years ago, and it has grown to be the most valuable meeting for association executives and officers with over 450 delegates last year. You as a representative of your association would make a great addition to this high-level group. I thought perhaps you might like to join us, as my guest, for this year's event which takes place 7-9 April in Gothenburg, Sweden. Delegates spend 2-3 days at the Association Leaders' Forum, the Events Strategy Forum and another five parallel streams and workshops, as well as the Welcome Reception on Sunday and the Congress Dinner on the Monday. Here is what some previous association executives have said about the event: "The Forum enhances the opportunity to rethink strategic issues in our associations." Maria Madi, Director, World Economics Association "The Association Leader's Forum is a must-go-to event with world-class speakers, stimulating topics for discussion, and lots of lively debate." Anthony Wilkinson, CEO, Research Quality Association "An excellent way to meet and learn from forward-looking association leaders, and future-proof your association." Greg Tracz, Chief Development Officer, International Hydropower Association This is my fifth time attending and every time I am exposed to new ideas, the most recent trends in the association industry in Europe, and meet new contacts. It has been of great value to me and my organisation." Yassie S. Dunn, Director, American Society of Safety Engineers As my guest, you can attend from Sunday 6pm to Tuesday 5.30pm, without charge. Please let me know by Wednesday 6 February latest if you can or cannot attend, as I will need to offer this place to another person next week. If you aren't able to attend but a senior colleague is then I would be delighted if they come in your place and perhaps we can invite you earlier next year. You may have some questions and Id be happy to answer them by email, or call my assistant Sarah, on +44 20 8004 6306. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully if scheduling permits, seeing you in Gothenburg.
