Phishing Notice from the IPMS/USA

 

An email notice from the IPMS/USA

 

                                                          

 

International Plastic Modeler Society

We want to make you aware that Phishing scams are on the rise again.   One of them that we are aware of is an email that appears to be from "IPMS/USA", and states that one of our officers, or local chapters needs you to "handle an urgent payment for them."  We will never ask you to personally pay for something for our organization.   

These emails look very real, use our real names and titles, but usually you can double check the actual sender email and see that they are not from our email address but rather another address.  

We get several notices a week from members that receive them and are concerned.  We can tell you; the organization is in good financial shape, and certainly doesn't need you to send us anything other than your annual membership dues. Thank you!
