Warning: Potential SPAM Email Claiming to be from BiggerPockets
Posted: Wednesday, July 28 at 09:39PMI just got the following email, and wanted to make everyone aware of it. If you get this email, let us know . . . it is NOT from BiggerPockets!!!
While I didn't open the zip file that came with it, I'm willing to bet there is some kind of virus in it. DO NOT OPEN THIS FILE!!
I guess you've made it when scumbags start to spoof your company's email address to scam or otherwise hurt people . . . this is not something I'm happy about.
Be careful!
- Josh

I ignore these kinds of emails because they almost always are phishing or spam. Generally business don't contact clients or customers in this way.
Thanks for the warning.

Mr. Dorkin;
This is seriously a problem and your tech personnel could get the bad guy if members report to you. I have been lucky, thus far. Thanks for the hats up! To the bad person read this " The nobler sort of man emphasizes the good qualities in others, and does not accentuate the bad. The inferior does the reverse". -- Confucius (551-479 BC) Chinese Philosopher

Joseph - Since the email is not originating from our servers and are spoofing our addresses, we actually can't do much here other than to warn our members to be aware.
