Thread Name: Tech: Strange email from Elizabeth B
Subject: Tech: Strange email from Elizabeth B
Over the weekend, some of us received two identical "Happy Saturday" emails from Elizabeth B of Toronto (name withheld).
Good afternoon, I hope your day has been wonderful. I apologize for bothering you, but I wanted to follow up, as I sent you an email and have not yet received a reply. Please let me know if you got it. Sending best wishes for the weekend, Elizabeth
I'm sure this email was not written in Elizabeth's inimitable style. And besides, I received a very similar pair of emails from a pastor in town, so I'm sure it's fraudulent.
But what can I do about it? I don't want to email her because I'm sure her email is compromised. I asked my pastor friend what he did to fix the problem, and he got a new email address - but that's such a hassle.
Anybody know how to fix this? And does anyone have a different way to contact Elizabeth beyond trying to contact her by her compromised email? If you do, can you let her know this problem is happening?
Thanks.

P.S. I'll move this message to the BS section sooner or later, but not yet. P.P.S. Don't give out her full name.
