Below are two email scams that should be avoided. Our association of websites will NEVER request the following. If you see emails you believe to be a scam delete the email and DO NOT click on any links.
Gift Card Scam
Below is an example of an email you may recieve. We will never ask for gift card purchases.
“West seattle high school alumni association needs some gift cards for donation to
Community Welfare with patients and Veterans at Hospice Care units across the community, can
you confirm if you can get some today? Kindly let me know if you can handle this for me so i can
advise the certain product and the face value to procure. You will be reimbursed.”
Emergency Money Scam
Some emails have been sent that appear to be from alumni members or staff asking for money to deal with an ’emergency’. No one will ever ask for money via email request.
