    Matt isn't even the IRCWCC treasurer, no reason he'd ask you for funds. Scam.

    But yeah sure you could send it to me if you want and I'll make sure he gets it too...

    Copy of message I received:

    Kas

    I need to setup a PayPal to expedite a Payment for the Board expenses, but I have recently had difficulties setting it up from the account.. Are you able to process a PayPal payment amount of $421 on behalf of the Board? You will get reimbursed latest by Monday once this issue has been resolved. Get back to me.
    Best Regards
    Matt Andrews
