Phishing and compromised email addresses: Kathy Lagoli

So yesterday, I got an email from Kathy @ thingdiamond.com with my business name in the subject line saying, "Hey didn't hear back from you, are you still in business ?"

I never wrote to someone named Kathy Lagoli.

If you get a similar email, it is a phishing email. If you google the name, you will find dozens of folks with similar emails. I have yet to see an actual victim story, but apparently this person is harvesting emails from blogs and attempting to get people to call and talk to them on the phone.

Just so you know.

A Blurb About Me

Life is hectic. As you can read, in addition to designing jewelry, I'm a mom, a (Navy) wife, Naval Reservist, businesswoman, amateur shutterbug, and I like to bake. :)

I also like to write, hence the blog (and it's lack of focus on jewelry.) Here, you'll find bits and pieces of what it's like to be a mom, a (Navy) wife, Naval Reservist, businesswoman, amateur shutterbug, and maybe some of the yummy things I make around here.

As for the jewelry, my creations rely on a variety of mixed media and techniques ranging from traditional Japanese arts, silversmithing, and plain old trial and error to produce beach inspired artisan jewelry. All designs are original and produced as one of a kind or as part of very limited edition runs. You can see them below or visit my Etsy store.

Of course, you can always leave a comment, like Simply Leilani on facebook, or subscribe to the blog for free! (You don't have to buy anything from me to be my friend, I promise!)
