Beware of Scam Emails Pretending to be ME

Dear Clients, 

A scammer is emailing the clients listed in my online portfolio. The scammer asks you to install software, or to pay for a software or service you never requested. Please forward the scam emails to me for analysis. 

With criminals using AI to combine stolen data from multiple data breaches along with publicly available information, they are trickier than ever! Many bad actors today are state sponsored hackers from North Korea, China, Russia, Iran, and Myanmar. The threat is serious, and these emails can seem very realistic. 

• Never click on a link in an unsolicited email. These links can contain malware.
• Type the official website address into your browser yourself to ensure you reach the real site. 
• Never give anyone your password! I will never ask you for your password. 
• Never give anyone admin access to your website! They can use that access to hack the entire server. 
• Never give any personal or banking data out via email. 
• If you’re not sure if something is real, always assume it isn’t real. 
• If you have already responded to a fraudulent email, please let me know immediately so we can change password/login credentials for your website. 

Stay safe out there, and have a great week!
