I got an email from “switch@trueswitch.com on behalf of Corinna Schramme [cs0118@ymail.com]” a couple of days ago. Corinna is a co-worker of mine, so the name and announcement sounded ok. When I looked up her contact info in my address book I discovered that her alleged gmail address mentioned in this switch email was not in my contact info. That threw a red flag. With contacts of people I know well I’m usually I’m pretty ‘tidy’ and would have their personal email address right. it turns out the email was fake, the “previous” private email address was not correct, and someone tried to get some business and confidential information. Here’s the screenshot how it looked like:
