You may have received or will receive an email from someone attempting to impersonate me. I know of at least 3 individuals who received the email message between 9:58a and 10:17a today. The key characteristics of the imposter's email are:
- My name in the from field is all upper case characters
- Email address is rotarydistrictss@gmail.com, with 2 S's
- The subject is "Greetings [First Name]" missing my usual "Rotary --" prefix
- The signature does not match anything that I have used
If you received or do receive an email from this imposter, do not reply to it. If you respond, it will start a phishing process suggesting that I need your help to get gift cards. If you followed the process and initiated the purchase of gift cards, contact your local police authorities to report the fraud and take steps to protect your identity.
If you received or do receive an email from this imposter and would like to help in reporting it to Google, please contact me. I will send you the URL and 9 steps to report it.
