Notice from the Flatonia Chamber

Dear Members and Friends of the Flatonia Chamber of Commerce:

The Flatonia Chamber of Commerce’s email has been hacked.  So If you have recently received an email from the Flatonia Chamber (flatoniacofc[@]sbcglobal.net) or Beverly Ponder stating “That I am in Scotland and need money,”  please do not respond to it, do not give them any personal information and please delete it.  

This is not a virus, they have just figured out my passwords and then sent out these ridiculous messages.  ATT is aware of the problem and it has been reported to ATT Abuse.  So, hopefully all this will be taken care of real soon and hopefully not happen again.  If you have any questions or concerns, just email me back.  Thank you for your time and have a great day. 

Sincerely,

Beverly Z. Ponder

Executive Director

Flatonia Chamber of Commerce
