Colorado Email Scam

Forwarded by National Adjutant Dan Wheeler

This morning (March 29, 2020) a number of our email contacts received a scam email from our Department Commander Dean Noechel with this message as follows:

The American Legion Department of Colorado needs some gift cards for donation to Veterans at Hospica and Palliative care unites for preventive items for Corona Disease (COVID 19). I have decided to make it a personal duty. I will be responsible for the reimbursement.

Commander Dean did not send this out. It is a scam originating from Denmark.

Since Dean has most of the department commanders and others in the Legion family around the country in his contact list can you send this out to the wider list for their information?

Thanks so much. Your staff is great during these troubled times. Take care.

Pat Smith
Department Adjutant
