[Ohio-Talk] Warning

[Richard Payne]

Good day,

Previously I sent a message out about scam messages appearing as if they were coming from me or other leaders this is a sample of a message that you will never get from me or any leader.

I also want to tell you one of the ways to confirm that even when you see my name and other leaders names the email address that this message is coming from is not my email and they do not have my signature.

Please be sure to confirm and Jackie was a recent victim of this scam it is happening to many different groups not just NFBO.

Subject: NFBO Association Expense

Carolyn,
 
Treasurer Kathy Legg has never used PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle, but she needs to pay a vendor. Could you help me use one of these systems to process the payment? I promise to pay you immediately and provide you with all of the necessary details.


Regards,
Richard Payne.


We will never send this type of message to you so do not fall for it.

The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members and all blind people in the United States. We know 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. Our collective power, determination, and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.
