Here’s
the word on these emails from the State Librarian of North
Carolina:
Public
library directors in multiple states are getting emails from
coreypeters1001@gmail.com
(mailto:coreypeters1001@gmail.com)
The messages started arriving last week and are each
addressed to "Dear Library Director" and worded in one of
several different ways:
-
I
am a patron of the library. I believe that libraries are
vital to our community and would like to be more involved
in how our library is run. Is there an upcoming public
meeting that I could attend to elaborate my views?
-
I
am a taxpayer and a voter. I believe that libraries are
vital to our community but that spending for our library
is just too high. Is there an upcoming public meeting that
I could attend to elaborate my views?
-
I
am a donor to the library. I believe that libraries are
vital to our community but that spending for our library
is just too high. Is there an upcoming public meeting that
I could attend to elaborate my views?
In some
emails, funding is too high - some too low. In some, he is a
patron - a donor - or a taxpayer and voter
IT staff
in those states have responded (and I quote) "DO NOT
RESPOND. Please delete the message from your computer as it
is a phishing scam and could possibly be malicious".
Just a
heads up in case you start receiving these messages!

It's
circulating all over Oregon too. Just
some sort of scam or phishing
expedition.

Hi all--
I received this e-mail yesterday and in Michigan, a dozen library directors have received it or a variation of it--I'm a donor and spending is too low, I'd like to be more involved, etc. Have any of you received anything similar?
Thank you.
