Kathy Lagoli Scam

Just a quick note to warm fellow bloggers about emails from Kathy Lagoli. Yesterday I received an email from someone named Kathy Lagoli asking "Would you be available to discuss this on the phone ?" I then got another one this morning saying "Hey didn't hear back from you, are you still in business ?"
I found this a little strange since they were from two different emails, and when I Googled the email address it said that it was set up the previous day. After searching the name Kathy Lagoli, I have found that many other bloggers have also been contacted by her. Not sure what kind of spam/scam this is, but if you receive the email from her, do not open it or send your phone number to her!!
Has anyone else received these emails from her??

  1. I just received the same two e-mails today. I found your site by googling her name. Definitely a scam!

  3. I didn't receive the first (or maybe it got caught by spam filter) but I got the second one, word for word, today. Mine was from a website advertising my cake decorating business! Wonder what this person is up to...

  9. I also received an email from this "Kathy Lagoli" saying "Is it still available?" in regard to my posted ad.I replied having thought that it was legit query but later on I received a mailer daemon that's why I decided to search the name over the net and found your blog and from others too. I don't know what she/he's up to but whatever it is everyone must be more cautious. And now I know, I'll be more careful next time. Thanks for posting this!
