Beware of ‘email spoofing/phishing’ scam

We have received several recent reports about an email making the rounds using our AFM Local 47 logo which pretends to be from Local 47 staff with the subject line “New project open for bidding” and containing a “Request for Project Proposals (RPP)” in the body of the message. Please be aware that these messages are a common email spoofing/phishing scam, and we encourage anyone who receives such a message NOT TO CLICK any links, NOT TO REPLY to the email, and to DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY.

Should you have any questions about this matter, or if you receive a suspicious message that mentions AFM Local 47 in the future, please email webmaster@afm47.org.

Beware of “email spoofing” scam

Several Local 47 members have recently reported receiving emails from an email account appearing to be from President Stephanie O’Keefe, requesting an urgent reply. Some messages have included mention of “gift cards,” while others have simply asked for an immediate response for an unknown reason.

We want to warn everyone that these emails are a common “email spoofing scam” generated by a scammer targeting Local 47 members. We encourage all of our members to be mindful and watch out for such phishing attempts, NOT TO REPLY to these messages, delete them immediately, and block the sender.

Should you have any questions about this matter, or if you receive a suspicious message that mentions AFM Local 47 in the future, please email webmaster@afm47.org.
