I've just opened my email with a MacMillan community alert... nothing new or wrong there! Everything looked absolutely as it usually does; graphics, mug sign and colours, used my name..perfection. However, this email was definitely not from MacMillan! I was told that cannabis can cure cancer and was given a link to a website which I obviously did not click. I have taken photos of the email but I don't know how to pass it on to this site. These despicable people are preying on the vulnerable..us. just be careful and aware everyone xxx Marie I've only just realised that this might be important.... when I tried to log into my MacMillan site I was told on several occasions that I was blocked! Just thought I should add xxx Marie

I've managed to send the photographs via Instagram. I couldn't work out how to do it here. I hope that helps x

Hi everyone,

I hope you don't mind me responding here today, my name is Rachel and I work as part of the Community team here at Macmillan.

I just wanted to thank you all for bringing this to our attention and reassure you that we will be taking a thorough look into the situation.

If you receive any other Community notification alerts that look suspicious, if you could forward them to community@macmillan.org.uk that would be really helpful.

If you have any questions about this, or need any further support, please don't hesitate to reach out to us here on the team via email. A member of the Community team will be in every day over the bank holiday weekend, so if you need any support please don't hesitate to reach out.

Best wishes,

Rachel
Macmillan's Community team

Hi my dear, honestly I can not believe how low some human beings can stoop. I'm very upset about it and cannot believe this has happened. I hope that they haven't been able to see my conversations although I don't think they're that clever just despicable and cruel. Xxx Marie

Hi Mecca I’m sorry you’ve been upset, I can’t fathom why anyone would want to do something like that., Bev x
