I got that as well.
They have been having a few issues and I will not be logging in for a while until it's all sorted.

Looks like they have been severely hacked.
Shame. I was just about to place a large order.

Was quite obviously a scam email. The english was bloody appalling.

Plus....Craftbrewer offer FREE delivery? BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[TommyH]

So, has anyone heard from Ross?

How hilarious is the premise of spending $5 to get free postage? Clearly the attacker's handle on the English language doesn't extend to an understanding of the word 'free.'

I wonder if they at all toyed with the idea of making the premise of their phishing scam that they were the son of the deposed king of Beerland and that by transferring them a certain amount would allow them to release all the hops in China from escrow, of which they'd share with you...

Too good to be true. Cheap postage on the other hand...
