CHICAGO—Telling staff never to click on any suspicious communications with blurred purple images, McDonald’s officials reportedly warned corporate employees Friday to beware any emails from senders purporting to be Grimace. “Grimace will never ask you for your credit card number, social security card, or blood type, so please do not follow any dubious links no matter what the sender does to convince you he is the giant personified taste bud representing our company,” read an all-staff email to corporate managers that cautioned employees against converting all the money in their bank accounts into ‘GrimaceCoin,’ which it stressed was a phishing scam and not really a new McDonald’s currency. “It is also important not to share company secrets with anyone who claims to be Grimace or his green-furred Irish counterpart Uncle O’Grimacey. In addition, please refrain from disclosing any personal passwords or other information to senders with ‘Hamburglar’ or ‘Mayor McCheese’ in their email address.” The all-staff message concluded by stating that McDonald’s managers who had business to conduct with Grimace could do it in person once he returned from vacationing with his family in Montauk.
