Authors list

Good Day all,


Please note: there is a scam / phishing email going around.


Subject: Re: Not Cool, Guys Westviewcoop/SecureDoc (Random Number, today’s Date)

2 Attachments: Secure-Doc-(Random Number).pdf and Secure-Doc-(Random Number).htm

Body:  There is nothing in the body of the message other than our warning about opening emails from outside our organization.


Key Red Flags:


  1. The subject says westviewcoop not Westview Co-op

  2. That attachment is a .htm file

  3. There is no content in the message body

  4. The sender email is from company in the Carolina’s.


If you see an email that is similar to the above: DELETE the email. DO NOT open any attachments.  Remember to also delete the email from your deleted items.


When in doubt while dealing with emails.  Always ask.
