==============================
Scammer posed as our Exec. Director; emailed asking for my personal cell phone number. (Our admin director misunderstood my question about the legitimacy of this request…said it was ok. Naturally, I gave my number then, on 9/18/17, 12:25pm.) At 12:35pm on 9/18/17, I received a text message "Hello, ______, will you be kind enough to help purchase a $200 itunes giftcard from any store nearby? I will reimburse you later today. please? (then signed, using the name of our Executive Director)."
