PCA POTOMAC IMPORTANT PHISHING REMINDER

Members, please be aware that scammers, posing as PCA Potomac Exec or Chairs, are engaging in phishing attempts within our region. To protect yourself against fraud, be sure to check the origin of the email (as it will often not be an official .org and instead a gmail or aol account).  Additionally, in a phishing attempt, the fraudster attempts to invoke a sense of urgency and call to action that only the recipient can help with.  Do not respond or open any attachments.  If you have questions regarding an email received, use the official contact of the sender using their pcapotomac.org email address.
