Message Rejected Re: [NIDG] Moderator's spam report for nidg@googlegroups.com

[Dwight Godwin]

Good day,

As a co-moderator, I rejected a recent email for someone named "Lauri Shaffer"

It had no identifying signature and was simply a "link" to an invitation.

It had all the earmarks of Spam or a scam.

IF, Lauri S is real, please reply to the group or resend the email with the information about the "invitation" so it can be approved if it is legitimate.

It looks pretty spammy to me, thanks for the catch!

It’s spam

Laurie spells her name “ie”

Not “I”

There are many such evites and invites spamming around. 

Delete them 

Do not open

Thanks, Rayne - I am a real interpreter and unfortunately - that was a phishing email.  I got one myself that I thought was from one I knew. When I tried to open it, it got into my contacts list.  So, watch out for evites!
