I also received a text from the fake David Booth. The incorrect phone number alerted me. The message was something like Can I text you.

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.
