Flattered but It Appears To Be A Scam

Flattered… But It Appears To Be A Scam

Women of Distinction Magazine – not worthy

So I got this email… not once but twice. Of course I was tickled when I opened it but something just seemed off. Not sure what but a habit I’ve gotten into is when I receive something from someone I don’t know I do research. So that’s what I did. And I found some interesting things out. They appear to have a nice magazine layout but… from what I can find it appears to be false. I didn’t reply but then thought others might be sent this email as well, so wanted to share.

First and foremost this is

Questionable.

I found this article: https://ethicsalarms.com/2015/07/23/ethics-dunce-women-of-distinction-magazine/
(they don’t seem to do much research on who they send it to)

and then I googled the phone number and found this: https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-631-465-9024
(they ask for money)

And then I googled this Ann Silar and while she is on social media like LinkedIn, she has no profile picture.
