Dear RW Brothers,

This e-mail is forwarded to you with the permission of the Brother involved. Bro David Morales is a member of Advance Service Mizpah Lodge No.586 and retired last year from working with Interpol. 

If you think appropriate you may circulate it.

Regards, C & F Jamshed Ghadiali, Secretary, ASM 586.

My name is David Morales, and I am a member of Advance Service Mizpah Lodge #586, Queens, NY. I am reaching out to inform you that I may have fallen victim to a fraudulent transaction involving an individual who claims to be a brother from Florida under the name Cantor Nicanor.

This individual advertised Masonic Barongs for sale, and on October 17, 2024, I placed an order for two Barongs, paying via PayPal. However, I have not received the items, nor have I been able to contact the individual since the transaction

I am sharing this information with you to alert you that this person is using the (Masonic) website to advertise and potentially deceive other brothers. I kindly ask that you take appropriate measures to prevent any further incidents of this nature.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely,

David Morales
Advance Service Mizpah Lodge #586
