Always be alert

Good morning,


We wanted to take a moment to make you aware of another phishing/scam email circulating, claiming to be us.  


If you receive an email similar to the following, please delete it, it is not legitimate. A quick way to determine the legitimacy of this particular email, is the "from" email circled in red below.  If it were truly from The Department of Florida, the email address would have been from floridalegion.org or legionmail.org, not yahoo.com as in the example below.


Tons of variations of these types of emails circulate on a regular basis, and unfortunately, there is little that can be done about them.  The few that you do get, are only a sampling of hundreds that you don't get, thanks to spam and filtering tools.


If ever in doubt, please check in with us.  Never click a link or open an attachment, unless you are confident it is from a legitimate source and you were expecting it.  If the sender is "phishy" the email likely is too!  If you weren't expecting it, call the sender (using your own contact information) to verify.


We hope this information was helpful! Surf safe!

Sincerely,

Carrie Kolze

Creative Services Manager

Thank you very much you can purchase it at any store around you like,
Best Buy or CVS pharmacy, Walgreen,e.t.c. The total amount needed is
$500 ($100 denomination) I need you to scratch the back of the cards
to reveal the pin, then take a snapshot of the back showing the pin
and the receipt of the cards and them attached to me. How soon Can you
get the cards?

Thanks
