[Smyth, Charlene R]

I always thought good communication would be helpful too.

I should also extend a huge thanks to Chad Keeney for discovering this and bringing it to our attention, proof that excellent communication is key to us working together.

When receiving suspicious communications from someone, it is always best to contact that person directly (in person, voice, text with verified number if absolutely necessary) and confirm whether or not such a communication has been sent.  This makes all parties aware that such a scam might be going on.

Also, in the case of email, ALWAYS check the actual email address - tap/highlight it to make sure it is from a reliable address before responding to it.  This can head off confusion and possibly "making yourself the next target:.

For the time being, I am taking my contact info out of the footer for obvious reasons.  I think everyone here knows how to contact me.  Everyone on this list might want to do the same when sending mail to the list, just in case this happens to be the source of it.

I received an E-mail that looked like it was from Marcus asking me to make contact with him and I also received a text asking me to call him at the given phone number which is not a West Virginia number.

Attention everyone,
At approximately 9:58pm EST time I received a text from (334) 392-0095 calling me by name and from Marcus wanting me to purchase 2 $100 Google Play Store gift cards because he was in a meeting and needed these. Each text ended with "Regards, Marcus Soulsby".
I asked for confirmation via another line and the individual refused to confirm. I did not make such a purchase and wanted to warn everyone that this was occurring.
Just wanted to pass this along
