Fake iNat message?? Phish observation?

[Gena Bentall]

I received an email notification of an odd iNat message this morning (I did not click on any part of the message). When I checked my actual inbox on my iNat page, the message was not there. I searched for the user---nope. So I assume it is a phishing scam of some sort. Has anyone else had this happen?

I got this exact same message this morning also

We've blocked the IP address that was sending those messages. The reason you didn't see the account is that it was suspended automatically as a spammer once it sent those messages. Please email he...@inaturalist.org if you receive more.
