Boy, I nearly fell for this phishing scam and clicked Confirm. Pretty sneaky. The Google image really legitimized the look of the email. The domain is registered to some dude in San Francisco. Probably not a huge deal had I click on the button since I would be just confirming what is already public info, but …
Helped with another MMK9 dog adoption event yesterday at Random and was lucky enough to see this band, The Strayhearts.
