Dear LWVTSC Members,
Due to several known scam attempts targeting LWV members across the country, we encourage you to learn more about the risks and how to protect yourself from email scams.
Members are receiving emails that appear to be from trusted League leaders. The messages sometimes request money – in the form of gift cards or wire transfers. Others include suspicious links or requests to share personal information, which are known as phishing scams.
The League of Women Voters will never ask for donations in the form of gift cards or wire transfers, and we will never request personal information via text or email.
What can you do to stay safe?
- Be curious! If you think a message is suspicious, check the sender’s email address.
- Don’t click on any suspicious links.
- Don’t reply to the email.
- Do reach out to us to ask for confirmation about the email message. The LWVTSC leadership can be reached at contactus@lwvtsc.org.
To learn more, please reference the “Email and Phishing Security” resource from the LWV US.
