BSA email scam through Adobe Portfolio

[Chuck Uebele]

I got an odd email of someone claiming to be in troop 12 of the Boy scouts in Rochester, NY. He wanted my autograph for getting merit badges. This contact was through Adobe Portfolio, which I really haven't done anything with it. Anyone else getting these emails?

There doesn't appear to be a Boy Scout Troop 12 in Rochester:

Find a Boy Scout Pack, Troop, or Crew in your area Boy Scout Troop, Pack, Crew Websites, BSAHosting....

Yea, I looked it up also. My guess is someone trying to get signatures for digital forgeries, or something along those lines.

I just got exactly this email today. I used to get asked for my autograph frequently but it's been about 10 years since that happened so, being skeptical (okay, cynical) I googled boyscout troop 12 Rochester NY. No such thing. but it did lead me here to this thread. Thanks for posting your question, Chuck! Othgerwise I might've sent something. No big deal if I had as Ideveloped an "Artist's autograph" I used for conventions and whatnot, which is entirely different from my (completely illegible) personal signature.
