Scam Alert

Added 2015-11-22 04:40:05 +0000 UTC

I got this e-mail earlier from Patreon:

I learned yesterday evening that some Patreon users have been receiving a scam email. The sender claims to have the recipient’s SSN, credit card number and other personal information. I want to assure everyone that the claims in this email are false, and we are already working with federal law enforcement. Do not reply to the email—it is a scam. The tax forms we store are securely encrypted with RSA 2048-bit encryption, and we do not store full credit card numbers.
If you receive this email I suggest you flag it as spam and ignore any further emails. Do not reply.
Thanks.
Jack Conte, CEO/Co-founder, Patreon

I just want you to have this information so you can be aware of what's going on. Patreon is on top of the situation, and they're saying it's impossible for these people to have the information they're claiming. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
