WSMTA NOTICES
AVOIDING EMAIL SCAMS
- Check the “from” email address closely to make sure it is the trusted email address.
- Remember that WSMTA Leadership will never ask for money directly.
- Ignore suspicious requests and do not reply to such emails.
- Watch for either a lack of details or a sense of urgency.
- Consider contacting the person whose name was used in the scam.
