TOPIC:

Hello FTH support folks and FTH community.
Note that I have not included FTH websites because this is a broader issue.
We have an active email scam problem going on in District 53 right now.  It started with some district officers getting an email supposedly from our District Director requesting them to purchase some $100 gift cards for a "secret incentive program."  A couple of our district officers fell for it and purchased gift cards, but the DAM (me) and Trio figured out it was a scam and warned everyone about it. Now it seems to have leaked down to the club level with some club officers getting an identical email supposedly from their club president via their FTH forwarders.  We are still investigating, but so far it appears that only district and/or club officers are being impacted.  We are working to communicate an urgent warning to all our members and also to determine the extent of the breach.  We are seeking to inform the FTH support team and also wondering if any other districts are seeing any similar email scam activity.  We'll update this post once more is known. Samples of the scam email and other info can be provided to the FTH support folks if wanted.  It's important to note that, although many clubs in D53 use FTH, the district itself does not use it for our website.  Feedback can be added to this post or sent to me directly at This email address is being protected from spambots.

We will need all the email addresses involved.

Full internet headers will help us identify the source servers.

The exact same thing is happening in D69 today.  It doesn't seem to originate with FTH here, but I have blacklisted the email address on FTH (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).  

Here is the header: (I've replaced my username with xxx)

Hi Brian. When you say, "We will need all the email addresses involved.", do you mean all the email addresses the messages went to, where they came from, or both? We are compiling that info, but it's still evolving. If you can tell he how to pull a full interned header from an email in Outlook, I can do that and post it here.

Please refer to

support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/email-headers

Here's the email header for the copy of this scam email that I received..
