[Massachusetts-NFB] Beware of Texts From Scammers Claiming To Be Shara

[Justin Heard]

Good evening.

Today, after sending my phone number to this list, I received a text 
from an unknown number claiming to be Shara. It read, "Did you receive 
my email Justin? Shara Winton." I searched my inbox and didn't find 
anything. I asked her if she sent it to me directly, and if this was her 
new number. The response read, "Yes, Justin. I'm in the middle of 
something and I need to purchase a couple of gift cards. Can you help 
with that please?" I immediately asked this person to call me, and of 
course they didn't.

So, here is a message on behalf of the real Shara. Do not purchase any 
gift cards unless you have spoken to Shara, whether in person or over 
the phone. The odds of Shara asking you to buy a gift card are slim to 
none. If you think it might be her, call her, or ask her to call you.

these scammers are watching our email list. They are clever. If you 
receive any emails or texts asking you to buy anything, talk with 
whoever is supposedly emailing or texting you in person or over the phone.

Stay safe, and don't get scammed.

Have a blessed night.
