Attention AVON Representatives: Scam Alert

Image via Wikipedia

Good morning everyone. I wanted to post a very special and important bulletin. In the last month, I have personally received 2 disturbing spam messages from fraud customers. The emails they seem may seem innocent, but in fact, it is an attempt to hack your bank account. I am posting the email and the name and email address of the two people who sent this email.

These emails are identical, but sent from the different persons.

What you need to do.

1. Forward the email to your district manager, so that he or she can forward to AVON
2. Add the names to your block list in your email program and report them for spam, if possible.
3. Most importantly, do not respond to them or give them any of your information. 


Wishing you all the best. Below are recommended articles on how you can combat fraud and reduce spam.
