Just had this email come through with an attachment that looks like a Word doc. If you get the same email, ignore it & don’t open the attachment, looks like the Robins Trust email account may have been hacked. Email reads:
Good Morning,
I’m sorry to have disturbed you today.
I called to follow up on an outstanding invoice for payment (see attached) from October
and hoped you could arrange payment please.
Robins Trust
Invoice
ENA-P833289

Sincerely,

Agreed LE.
We would never directly ask for money like that.
We are currently running a charity fundraiser, but we are using a reputable crowdfunding partner.
Please disregard any emails asking for money like this.
We will be looking to move email providers in the near future to mitigate this kind of thing

Yes received the same about a week ago, made the trust aware by email, but have received no reply to date.Lord Elpuz wrote:Just had this email come through with an attachment that looks like a Word doc.

Apologies both, and anybody else affected.
I will look into this again as a priority over the weekend. But it looks like we will need to switch email providers, which isn't an easy task.
I'll try and keep you all posted

Most likely spoofed not hacked so changing email providers will do nothing.Dave Beesley wrote:Apologies both, and anybody else affected.

Have you got your spf record on the domain? I can check if you’re not sure.

Unfortunately all of our email addresses are currently forwards to outlook or gmail accounts. The email which has been spoofed is an outlook.com address.
It is my intention to move us over to GSuite for Nonprofits or a similar service, and make the existing robinstrust.org addresses full mailboxes.
From there on in, I would encourage people to ignore anything that doesn't come from a robinstrust.org address
