TomcatVF84 Posted January 24, 2025 Report Posted January 24, 2025 Got an email Tuesday via my IPMS-contact-chapter-email-address, yet calling my name out. I replied to ask what is up. Today note the exchange, note my Q back to the imposter: Phil – What is the current National judging controversy? From: Phil Peterson <ddupyr@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, January 24, 2025 10:20 AM To: Mark Wilson <markxxx.com Subject: Re: IPMS/USA Hi Mark, I have been working on a couple of incentives and my goal is to pleasantly surprise certain members with gift vouchers. I would appreciate it if you could assist me with this task today. It is important that you keep this information confidential until I disclose the recipients. I will provide you with all the necessary details shortly. Let me know if you can handle this for me. Phil Peterson
PeteJ Posted January 24, 2025 Report Posted January 24, 2025 This spamer got into the contacts. This is the second such attempt. Not sure how IPMS is going to handle this. Under no circumstances reply to this. They are definitely phishing!

These are not coming from the IPMS/USA email servers, so we can't really block them. I got a similar email to Mark's sent to the Forum Admin email alias, it was sent from Google servers. Return-Path: <jricht29@gmail.com> Delivered-To: webmaster@ipmsusa3.org Received: from server.ipmsusa3.org by server.ipmsusa3.org with LMTP id EfxhA4aBimebQSsA4/73PQ (envelope-from <jricht29@gmail.com>) for <webmaster@ipmsusa3.org>; Fri, 17 Jan 2025 11:12:54 -0500 Return-path: <jricht29@gmail.com> Envelope-to: forum_admin@ipmsusa3.org Delivery-date: Fri, 17 Jan 2025 11:12:54 -0500 Received: from mail-oa1-f49.google.com ([209.85.160.49]:61897) by server.ipmsusa3.org with esmtps (TLS1.3) tls TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (Exim 4.98) (envelope-from <jricht29@gmail.com>) id 1tYoxp-0000000BtRF-2KOX for forum_admin@ipmsusa3.org; Fri, 17 Jan 2025 11:12:53 -0500 Received: by mail-oa1-f49.google.com with SMTP id 586e51a60fabf-29ff8053384so1304390fac.3 for <forum_admin@ipmsusa3.org>; Fri, 17 Jan 2025 08:12:33 -0800 (PST) The Received: mail-oa1-f49.google.com line is the important one... Email addresses have probably been scraped from the various websites - Mark gets email via the Chapter Contact alias for North Central Texas Chapter or being the contact for the 2024 Scalefest show.
