Friends of IFME

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

John
