We have noticed an increased number of phishing and spoofing emails come to us in recent months. We urge community members to be aware of these cyber attacks and think before you click!
Often hackers will visit the websites of an organization and impersonate employees. You may see an email that uses the name of someone at RVRMA, but when you click to reply, the email address may not look familiar. Remember, just because the heading displays a trusted name, it does not mean that the email address belongs to that person. If it seems Phishy, it’s probably Phishing!
|
| |
|
Another form of phishing will use fake hyperlinks to lure you into sharing personal information. Spoofing happens when someone impersonates a trusted contact or brand to access your personal information. We urge the community to stay sharp and remember you can always call to confirm the email is legitimate.
If you want more information about how to recognize, avoid and report phishing scams, please visit, Federal Trade Commission Consumer Advice - How to recognize and Avoid Phishing.

Soft drink and beer companies are finally making changes to the plastic rings used to hold 6 packs together. Plastic 6 pack rings have long been known to be difficult to recycle and cause harm to the environment and animals. Companies are switching to more environmentally friendly 6 pack holders like cardboard clips and implementing innovative ideas like using leftover barley straw and recycled wood fibers in holder designs. Many companies are unveiling these new concepts this summer so be sure and look for greener packaging for 6 packs if buying these products.
