If this is indeed a phishing scam, you don’t want to open it or respond. You need to delete the email itself without opening it.

It could corrupt your computer.

I got one of those emails as well, but I did reply with information about the time of our regular Board meetings.  Do they have any suggestion as to what to do if you did reply?

Here’s the word on these emails from the State Librarian of North Carolina:

Public library directors in multiple states are getting emails from  <mailto:coreypeters1001 at gmail.com> coreypeters1001 at gmail.com ( <mailto:coreypeters1001 at gmail.com> mailto:coreypeters1001 at gmail.com) The messages started arriving last week and are each addressed to "Dear Library Director" and worded in one of several different ways:

*	I am a patron of the library. I believe that libraries are vital to our community and would like to be more involved in how our library is run. Is there an upcoming public meeting that I could attend to elaborate my views?
*	I am a taxpayer and a voter. I believe that libraries are vital to our community but that spending for our library is just too high. Is there an upcoming public meeting that I could attend to elaborate my views?
*	I am a donor to the library. I believe that libraries are vital to our community but that spending for our library is just too high. Is there an upcoming public meeting that I could attend to elaborate my views?

In some emails, funding is too high - some too low. In some, he is a patron - a donor - or a taxpayer and voter

IT staff in those states have responded (and I quote) "DO NOT RESPOND. Please delete the message from your computer as it is a phishing scam and could possibly be malicious".

Just a heads up in case you start receiving these messages!

It's circulating all over Oregon too.  Just some sort of scam or phishing expedition.

Hi all--

I received this e-mail yesterday and in Michigan, a dozen library directors have received it or a variation of it--I'm a donor and spending is too low, I'd like to be more involved, etc.  Have any of you received anything similar?  

Thank you.

Dear Library Director,

I am a taxpayer and a voter. I believe that libraries are vital to our community but that spending for our library is just too high. Is there an upcoming public meeting that I could attend to elaborate my views?

Thanks,
