The scammers seem to be running rampant these days - we have seen 3 new emails over the last week with our agency name. It seems everywhere in many industries people are abusing AI and creating fraudulent emails designed to take advantage of you.

Any email sending URGENT warnings about your Wix site is fraudulent. Wix will not take your site down. Google is not removing your website. Never click on links from any of these emails, respond to them, fill out their forms, and most importantly send them money. If you have worked with me before you know we meet with clients, have Zoom calls, and are very human focused.

If you have fallen prey to these scammers - change all your passwords, set up 2 factor authentication app, and please, start educating yourself. There are several great YouTube channels like Scammer Payback https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTGTg2MYG9I . When you understand the level of deceit and shadiness that is out there - you will know it is ok to delete those emails and report them right away.

You are always welcome to call me as well: 408-335-7378. Best, Sarah Sherman. Protect Yourself from Fake Partner Emails We’ve recently identified impersonation emails that misuse our name and falsely suggest partnerships or affiliations that do not exist.

For your security:

I will never initiate surprise audits, compliance checks, or urgent warnings about your site.• Any legitimate communication from me will come only from this email address: contact@illustrateddomain.com• If you ever receive a message that seems unusual, pressured, or out of character, please forward it to me so I can verify it.
