From: President Freeman A. Hrabowski, III <msgrenaway7511@gmail.com> Date: Thu, Oct 7, 2021 at 3:04 PM Subject: I need your quick response To: Hi <Your Name>, How’s your day going? Do you have time to chat now? If yes please send me your text phone number now. Thanks. President Freeman A. Hrabowski, III |
This email originated from < msgrenaway7511@gmail.com >, which is not Dr. Hrabrowski’s email nor a UMBC email. So even though we would all love to have a chat with Dr. Hrabrowski, this is too good to be true.
