Hi,
I wanted to alert all Moderators that you and your subscribers may receive
messages like the one below sent to their address which LOOK like they come
from our address. This email is not coming from the NIFL server, the
nifl.gov address is being "spoofed", meaning someone else is using our email
address to send viruses, etc. Unfortunately, this is very common now. (it is
also happening with the ed.gov address among others) There is nothing we can
do to stop these folks from spoofing at this point in time.

Long story short, DO NOT CLICK LINKS in emails like this. Please pass this
information on to your subscribers. Thanks.

Please contact me with questions,
