Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett has issued a warning about a new email spoofing scam affecting residents. The fraudulent emails, which have the subject line "Exciting News!", falsely claim that Hargett has filed a sponsorship on behalf of the recipient. Recipients are instructed to watch for a follow-up email from the secretary's office, furthering the deception. Hargett's office emphasizes the importance of vigilance against such scams, which can lead to personal information theft. The public is urged to verify any suspicious communications before taking action.
