A message from John Lairmore, Concordia R-2 Technology Director

I am aware that some emails are being received by community members that look like they come from personnel from the school.  These spam emails are not actually coming from the school’s domain.  Someone is using a spoofed sender data to generate an email that looks like it is from our domain.  It is as easy for them to do this as it is to send a different return address on a piece of mail. The best advice I can give is that if you have any doubts do not click on any links or reply to the email.  Call the school to confirm or forward the email to me, jlairmore@concordia.k12.mo.us.   Hope this helps everyone to be attentive to your email and the possibility that you may see spoofed email using our email addresses.  If you choose to hit reply look at the address in the To: and the Reply to: addresses for weird emails addresses.

Example:

If you receive one of those emails, best thing to do is just delete them from your inbox and your deleted folder(Trash).

 The school does not send invoices, amazon receipts or orders at any time through email.
