BEWARE OF EMAIL IMPERSONATION ATTACKS FROM DG TOM DREZ
Jun-30-2025 |
LIONS-BEWARE!! ANOTHER IMPERSONATION ATTACK!!
I have been informed this morning by a few Lions that an email message supposedly from me is making its rounds to Lions asking for something I would not normally ask for. My email has not been hacked but rather it is another impersonation attack that we have seen throughout our state in the last couple of years.
Look at the FROM and REPLY-TO email addresses. Someone made a fake email address to try and be me and that is what they are using to impersonate me.
My real email address is tom@drez.net. I has never changed in 30 years. My cell phone is 630-240-5024. WHEN IN DOUBT, PLEASE ALWAYS CALL ME, and I can tell you something that only I would know about you to prove it is me.
Please spread the word to all Lions to beware of messages supposedly from me, and to be on high alert for impersonation attacks of me, all District Governors and others -- especially those Lions that handle money!
THANK YOU for STAYING ALERT!

Our annual Bowling event last weekend was amazing. We sold out the whole bowling alley and had many Lions that just stopped in to say HI. It was great to see a sea of Lions from one end of the bowling alley to the other. It was a success becuase of all the Lions that came out to meet, greet, eat, bowl and have some fun.
