One of the latest phishing email schemes is using a picture of Dallas' top cop.
Dallas police confirm that an email using a picture of Chief David Brown is circulating.
The picture is similar to one found on the Dallas Police Department's website. It even says the email is coming from police headquarters.
But it becomes obvious in the body of the email that it is fake. The text features bad grammar and incorrect punctuation. There's not even a contact number listed.
Dallas police say they're investigating.
The text of the email is:
Attention .
