Avoid scams by practicing vigilance

Some APSCUF members this week reported receiving emails from individuals impersonating chapter presidents (and referencing chapter treasurers) asking for help with “outstanding requests.” While the emails incorporate the publicly available names of APSCUF leaders, closer examination does not indicate our website and/or email system have been compromised. These nefarious emails appear to be phishing attempts to gain trust and obtain personal data and/or financial information. Unfortunately, APSCUF cannot stop these phishing attempts, which are a national issue. We encourage members to be vigilant and cautious regarding suspicious emails, links, or phone calls.
