Recently, many of you have received emails that appear to be legitimate from Metro Senior Board members requesting that you purchase “Gift Cards” and send them to the sender. This is a scam!! If anyone sends you an email requesting you send anyone “Gift Cards” please delete the emails and DO NOT REPLY!
There are many of you who believe the sender is being “hacked!” This is not what is happening. Whether these notes are coming from an email, on Facebook or Instagram, are not breaches, but rather scammers trying to mislead you and scam you out of money.
When in doubt, do not reply, but call the person on the phone and ask them about the note you just received. I’m certain they will say they never sent the note. This activity will continue, no matter what we do, as long as we publish everyone’s email address on a public list. The board will be addressing this issue to find a suitable solution.
