[Ohio-Talk] SPAM Email Warning

[Richard Payne]

Todd:

I got one of the messages and you are correct it appears to be from you but
makes a request that would not come from you, and I encourage that people
block the sender and always confirm the email address.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

Fellow Federationists:

Good morning. I have just been advised that there is a an email circulating
that purports to be from me soliciting assistance in making an $1800 bank
transfer. Please know that this email is a fake. Do not respond to it and
delete it. I will not solicit this type of transfer assistance to NFB
members via email in the way this was done. The only time you will get
requests from the NFB for money is part of an established fundraising
effort. When that happens it would be to purchase particular items from a
recognized company, or via established NFB payment portals. Remember, if you
ever receive a message coming from an NFB leader asking for money that looks
even remotely suspicious, reach out to the sender via an established method
such as a known email or phone number. to verify the authenticity of the
message. Thanks, and please let me know if you have any questions.
