Thank you to everyone who attended our Second Annual Housing Fair. We discussed the full cycle of homeownership and gained insights into homeownership, investment, asset maintenance, and estate planning.

We’ve identified a phishing email circulating today with the subject “Vendor assistance” that impersonates leadership and asks staff to send money via Zelle/Venmo/cryptocurrency. This message did not come from our organization and is a scam.
What it looks like (example):
External Email
From: “Jeffrey Neidleman” <ersjls@roadrunner.com>
To: <employee name>Subject: Vendor assistance
We’re in a brief bind… Treasurer – Jordan Lento is unavailable and unable to make a
Zelle/Venmo or Cryptocurrency payment for a program vendor… If you’re set up for
either and open to assisting, I’ll send the details. Reimbursement will follow.
Red flags to note
Sent from a non-company email address and marked as External Email
Urgent request for peer-to-peer or crypto payments
Impersonation of executives/finance staff
Vague details and a promise of reimbursement later
What you should do
Do not reply, click links, or send any funds.
Do not forward it to anyone except IT/Security.
Report it: Use our normal phishing reporting method (e.g., the “Report Phish” button or forward the message as an attachment to your IT/Security contact).
Delete the email from your inbox and trash.
Reminder: No one at our organization will ever ask you to send money or gift cards, or to use Zelle/Venmo/crypto, without prior approval and through established procedures. When in doubt, verify using a known phone number or by starting a new email thread to the person’s official company address.
If you received this message or acted on it, contact your IT/Security immediately so they can help secure your account.
Thank you for staying vigilant.
