Scam alert - phishing Federal SAM entity renewal email

Hi everyone,

FYI, if your organization has a federal SAM (System for Award Management) number (which you need to apply for grant funding from the federal govt) PLEASE remember to check the return address on any emails that you get telling you that you need to renew.

I just got 2 emails about renewing our SAM this week and they were fairly well-written, no red flags. The subject of the message was "SAM renewal due - Wanaque Public Library."
