Not only are they targeting architects directly. I am now getting referrals through Home Advisor.
I received this today.

Subject: scam targeting architects
Good Day,
I'm not an AIA member but read the Small Project Design Digest and yes, this is a scam. I've received these messages via text and email. After responding to the first text message I realized it was/is bogus. My tech provider has reviewed the messages and they're definitely phishing.
Hope this helps!
