Two-message email exchange. Shea Winkeller wrote on Saturday 2026-06-06 at 9:46 AM ET from her phone; JT replied Monday 2026-06-08 at 8:44 AM ET.

Summary

• Shea received an email at 2 AM on 2026-06-06 that appeared to have been sent from her own address and asked JT whether it was a scam.
• JT: it looks like a scam; delete it. He thanked her for sending it over.
• Her signature gives her title as Financial Consultant, ChFC®, at the Denver branch; that is the first role on file for her.

Action items

Mine

• Answer Shea — done 2026-06-08

Theirs

• Shea Winkeller: delete the message — per JT's reply

Suggestions for me

• A spoofed-sender phish reaching a rep's mailbox is a cybersecurity-log item under the firm's incident response program; check whether it was logged.
• Shea checks with JT before acting on anything odd; a short reply the same day keeps that habit.
