Another reason to loathe AI. Thanks for the warning, John.

Subject: [labird] LOS email scam - please read
All,
Twice tonight I have received an email ¡°from David Booth¡± with the following content:
Hi
How are you today? Mark Pethke is unfamiliar with Zelle or Venmo and will have a vendor payment which is due for today, if you have experience with either or have any of these payment platforms. Kindly let me know. This payment is for Program Expense. Your assistance will be immensely appreciated. I'll have the treasurer issue you a refund check as soon as the payment is processed. Send me an email back in regard to this.
Thanks
David Booth
I called David, and he confirmed he did not send this. Appears to be an AI generated phishing scam. PLEASE do NOT respond to such an email if you get one, even if it mentions specific names of LOS officers like Mark and David. If you have ANY questions about the authenticity of emails, please do not hesitate to contact us. LOS will be sending out a fundraising request to all members soon, but the above email is a scam.
Thanks,
The real John Dillon, I assure you. If I were made by AI, I¡¯d be much thinner.
