The above email was sent by “Manager Ethan Blackwell” from this email address: manager@lincoln.us
I, Director, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “Manager Ethan Blackwell”:
ooooh this was sent by a MANAGER – I better go ahead and click on that spammy link quickly ………..
These miscreants cocked their plan up by sending another e-mail from “Manager David Bird ” at the same time to another address of mine and thereby cooked their own goose.
