We have been notified that a number of our subscribers have received phishing emails from scammers pretending to sell attendee lists in relation to the Pennsylvania Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (PAMIC) events. Please note that PAMIC DOES NOT sell contact lists for our events and will only ever distribute these listings to exhibitors, sponsors, and attendees. PAMIC takes information security very seriously and asks that you also be vigilant in order to prevent fraud and to help protect our common interests.
Here are a few precautions to consider:
-
Confirm the sender’s identity before replying to email requests and before opening attachments or clicking on links, even if they appear to come from a legitimate source.
-
Consult your Information Technology department about any phishing attempts.
-
Contact us to validate communications originating from PAMIC. Here is an example of a fraudulent email request. (Note the lack of punctuation and missing PAMIC.org email address.)
