Tom DeFalco Has Not Been Attacked By Gunmen In Manila

So I received this e-mail.

I am sorry for reaching you rather too late due to the situation of things right now. I had a trip visiting Manila, Philippines, everything was going on fine until last night when i got attacked by some unknown gunmen. All my money,phone and credit card was stolen away including some valuable items, It was a terrible experience but the good thing is that they didn't hurt me or made away with my passports. Unfortunately for me, I've made contact with my bank but they are not providing a fast solution. I need you to lend me some money to sort my self out of this predicament, I will pay back as soon as I return.

All hopes on you.

Thanks,
Tom D.

I wasn't alone. Other people who heard the word about ex-Marvel EIC Tom DeFalco. included Steve Pugh, Chuck Dixon, Paul Kupperberg and more. With these kinds of stories in the news, this can be an upsetting thing to read.

But this is one of the more famous e-mail scams, with version after version after version. Looks like Tom's address book may have been hacked…

So, in case you didn't know and were worried, Tom's okay. Well, as okay as he ever is…
