Email Scam - Amazon Gift Cards

All: This is just a heads up to be aware of another scam email that got through to someone at P.J. Hoerr, in this case Craig who gave me a heads up about it. Kudos to Craig!

See screenshot of email below: These types of emails are so prevalent that they have a name in the cyber security world – CEO Fraud Phishing Email


This email did not have attachment or web link, just in the body of the email a request for Amazon gift cards. 

In the From: Header it showed Bob Hoerr, but the actual email address was president.contact@roadrunner.com 

So at first glance it looks legitimate because of recognized name in the header and your name in the Subject line, but within the header is the actual sender, in this case president.contact@roadrunner.com
