Scam

Hi everyone. Just a note. I was checking my spam this morning and noticed an email from someone named Kathy Lagoli. It read, "Haven't heard back from you, are you still in business?" and the subject referred to a give-away I had entered. I didn't see anything else from her so I emailed back that I was and what could I do for her. Then I did a search on the name and came up with several bloggers who have recieved the same message and who say it is some kind of phishing scam. Yipee. If you get a similar email from this person, don't open it. I just hope it isn't going to totally mess up my email or get addresses from it somehow. Just thought I would put the word out.

  4. Thanks Kathy - yep, I got it too. I deleted it, but only after checking the website referenced in her email...at that point I saw it was one of those place-holder websites, not really a real, active site. Ugh! These people!

    Hope you have a good weekend friend!

    Hugs & Blessings,
    Becky
