**ALERT**
A legitimate looking email coming from the chapter president is being sent to only that chapter asking for gift cards for Cottey students. Using a fake email address that looks legit, several of our sisters across the state have fallen for it. And they have fallen for it because it looks and sounds like a genuine chapter sister soliciting gift cards for our Cottey students. Despite having the warnings on our state website and regular emails to the presidents, we still have sisters that have fallen for the very legitimate looking email. The key words here, very legitimate looking emails!
I have made Dawn Clayberg aware and she has reported it to the authorities. I am letting you know so that we can stop these creeps before they take advantage of a sister in your state. Please alert your chapters asap.
