I got the same. I, too was confused and thought about asking publicly if there are other receivers. Now you came first - proving that it's scam/ their account had been hacked.
I had direct contact with William 2 or 3 years ago (via this account where we just got that §!&$/% from), I purchased some parts because he still had/ has an inventory, last year I emailed him again but didn't get a reply.
I don't know if he still is with us, but I really hope so!
Greetings
Johannes (still unable to write directly to you, so please don't wonder...)

I just received suspicious? e-mail from William McKown titled "Checking In" and requesting a reply.
It comes from a Rosilyn McKown.
If this is from Bill McKown from W&R Enterprises which has been closed for 15+ years, I would like to respond.. My last contact with Bill was over 25 years ago before I had e-mail. I have always been a great supporters of Bill and the quality of his brass imports. T one time my freight car roster was unbalanced with cars from the Pacific Northwest because of the quality of his models.
Does anyone know if Bill is still with us?He did an article in Model Railroader in the 1960's which kind of establishes his age. If this e-mail is truly from him I would like to contact him but am skeptical.
