Hi everyone –
Heads up that the latest cyber scam involves unexpected emails
supposedly inviting you to a party or other event. These are
generated by hacked email accounts and are not intentionally sent.
Most of the time, the sender will not realize that they are generating
the scam emails.
Some of these emails are being generated from members of our listserv
and they are going to other members. I immediately place such accounts
on moderation so I can stop future scam messages, but by the time I do
some of you will have already received the invite emails.
As always, treat any unexpected email with caution and never open the
links contained in ANY email unless you are quite certain that it is
legit.
