I have to admit that I'm a bit put off by the tone of the announcement.
This has nothing to do with the vast majority of us. Punishing the community for the actions of a few classless people is not the way to run a business. My suggestion to Randy is to get better controls in place if he doesn't want to get taken by con artists.

Had
JonNYC not posted the announcement here I would never have seen it. I still do not know where he sourced it to be honest. It is not showing up an 'announcement', and it appears not to have been an Admin thread in SPG Forum? So Randy is hardly pushing this matter under anyone's nose.
I suspect the matter would not have been raised at all unless some serious bucks were involved, and it seems to me that it was made in the hope someone here might be able to assist recover the funds involved, whatever they were. If I owned this resource I'd do the same.
I doubt many of us would wish to see Randy's company out of pocket via a con-man over a deal that 100s of FlyerTalkers benefited from, and will now get to 'afford' a Concorde journey. And maybe a future Concorde flight if the con-men can be kept at bay, and such offers be re-promoted later on.
