Hi Maryanne,

Yes, I receive one or even two  of those emails every day...for the past week.

I report  them as spam but still receive them.   They are OBVIOUSLY not you but rather someone who is  "Phishing".

  I hope National NFB can help in some way.

  

To you and all of our Board members, Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

  

Mary

Dear Federation Family,

 

It appears there is a new batch of spam emails going around. Pleas read anything you think is being sent to you by me. First, I would never ask you to call me immediately, open a Venmo account, Purchase Apple or any other gift cards, My emails are always signed as this one is below. It does not vary. I have it set up this way on my computer and iPhone. Lastly, if you are ever in doubt, call me first. If the email says I am to busy to take your call, right there tells you it is spam. If you get one of these emails, delete it permanently from your computer. I have sent an email to president Riccobono requesting he have John Berggren look into tighter security on their behalf seeing as it seems to be board members that are getting these false emails.

 

Best Regards,

 

Maryanne Melley
