I wanted to make as many people aware of this as possible. I almost fell into a phishing ad scam yesterday that was entirely too believable. If you receive an email from a Sacha Charles or anyone with the Lana Agency…run the other way. 

Here is my full post on my experience, and exact email scripts to watch out for. 

 

Be vigilant!

Thanks for letting us know.  Being new to this it is hard to differentiate what is legit and what is not.

Thanks for the heads up. I got a similarly worded message from the "Nami Agency". Anyone else?
