Good Day My Jo-Ann Community Members:

If you received a message from someone with the display name of anistisha this morning (Oct. 21), please ignore it.

Unfortunately, some type of spam bot got through our defenses. Our tech team is investigating how this spammer bot got through and the steps to prevent such a breach in the future.

 

Thank you!

Leigh-Anne for Jo-Ann

Grrrr! The same bot seems to have created a third account. I caught it pretty quickly and eliminated it, but hopefully our tech folks will be able to put a stop to it today. So ignore joycou as well.
 
Thanks!
