This is *not* an emergency....

The "Gray Cardinal" email-box just got a forwarded note involving a supposed missing-child/Amber alert case involving one "Evan Trembley".  While the matter sounds serious, a quick visit to Snopes.com establishes that the message is not authentic; it's merely an ongoing email hoax/spam item.

What with all the noms-de-Internet we use in fandom, I can't easily backtrail where this particular note came from, but it seems likely that some version of this may reach someone else in my extended orbit.  I'm therefore posting this in hopes of derailing the spread of this iteration of the hoax to some small degree.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled LiveJournal....
