Fake e-mails going out in the name of Phil Jarvis

I know it's April 1, but I am not the originator of this joke.

If you get an e-mail supposedly from pdjarvis1@comcast.net, but when you hit reply it comes up pdjarvis1@outlook.com, that is a fake e-mail from a hacker.  Reply-To spoofing is a common scam technique, and I have no information that Phil has changed his e-mail address.

If you reply and identify this as a scam, you will get back "Am Not Hacked".

There is no need for Phil to know if you use online shopping either.

  1. Yes, glad to see this warning. I got one, but after replying quickly figured out the phishing attempt. Just delete or ignore these.
