No, We Did NOT Send You an Email Titled ‘Internal Only’

Although most SF-Fandom users will probably never see this email, a phishing email sent out earlier today (April 21, 2015) may have reached hundreds of thousands or millions of people across the Web.  That email did NOT come from us.  It was a phishing attack, which means that some email spammer created a fake email and sent it from his botnet or rogue mail server.

Here is a picture of what the email may look like if you open it.

There is no such folder on SF-Fandom and if you attempt to visit that folder you will be redirected to this article. Clicking on the link in the email will take you to a server that almost certainly attempts to install malware. DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK.

SF-Fandom takes no responsibility for the email.
