  • 1.  Beware of Scams

    Posted 18-03-2023 14:53

    Hello IFME Friends,

    Just a warning of a potential scam. Some IFME colleagues may receive emails from presidentboardcommiiitee@gmail.com or something similar.

    This is not from me and is a scam. Please do not reply or click the message.

    Thanks,

    I had a similar experience when I was President. I suspect we can report it as spam so it gets filtered out.

    The email is clearly not the language used by the (supposed) sender.
    Maybe we could adopt a IFME badge identifier on the email traffic we use. It’s not full proof but is difficult to use on a phishing email.
    Eg a template we can use on emails - worth discussing with our providers and in Birmingham.

    Regards

    Yes I also have been subject to scammers especially with my IPWEA President email.  It's a common authority scam for CEO and Presidents of organisations like ours, people think 'must be legitimate as is come from someone with authority'.
