It seems not only The Village newspaper and radio station are used for developer supported fundraising, so is your email address if you use the thevillages.net website to make tee times. It looks like they are using our email addresses for purposes other than it’s intended use without our permission.
Anybody else get this email and what do you think of this?
It sounds like they are pulling out all of the stops. Do I detect a note of desperation on their part.

As someone has already pointed out, it looks like they have resorted to spamming. Just treat it like any other spam. Delete it, block it , ignore it, or if you prefer, send them a check.
