SCAM EMAIL ALERT!!
Crafters! Apparently, another one of our regular Cathedral Holiday Craft Market vendors received this DESPICABLE SCAM EMAIL!!!
The main tip off that this is fake is that the email address is "cathedravillages" — ie, with no terminal "L" on cathedral and a pluralizing "S" on village.
(Also, neither Linda nor I would ever start an email with, "We hope this message finds you well." Blech. But that's a more subtle tell.)
Anyway, that email is not from us!!!!
In fact, we are not reaching out to vendors to get them to sign up for spots in the Cathedral Holiday Craft Market at this moment because THE CRAFT MARKET IS SOLD OUT!!!!
And we are only taking waiting-list sign-ups through our website. If you haven't applied online, then you won't be getting emails from us.
Please, BE VERY CAREFUL OUT THERE!!! Seems like there are dirty-dog scammers behind every bush trying to trick you out of your hard earned crafter-bucks.
If you have any concerns that you may have been contacted by a scammer or have been actually scammed by a scammer, give us a call! Phone our office directly. (You can look up the Cathedral Village Community Association phone number… we're in the phone book & online. I'm so paranoid at the moment I'm reluctant to even mention our phone number in this post for fear it'll… I dunno… summon a Scammer Demon who'll harvest our phone number along with my soul.)
And yeah, if you get one of these emails, get a screen shot and send it along.
And again… THE CATHEDRAL HOLIDAY CRAFT MARKET IS SOLD OUT!!! You can sign up to our waiting list on our website. We will never sell vendor spots in Facebook comments. And watch out for sketchy emails from sketchy jerks.
The Cathedral Holiday Craft Market is November 14 from 10am to 4pm at three awesome 13th Ave locations: the Cathedral Neighbourhood Centre, the Westminster Church Hall & the Holy Rosary Cathedral Hall. Hope to see you there.
