Important: Always Verify Wire Instructions!
Dear Valued Christ IT Clients,
We’re sharing an important warning about a sophisticated scam that recently cost a local individual over $65,000 of her life savings. Scammers are creating incredibly convincing fake emails that appear to come from trusted sources like your bank, title company, or even a regular business partner. These deceptive emails contain false payment instructions, tricking people into sending large sums of money directly to criminals.
What You Must Do Right Now:
If you ever receive payment instructions via email, especially for significant amounts of money, STOP before sending anything. Always call the person or company using a phone number you already know is legitimate (from their official website or a trusted past invoice, never from the email itself) to verbally confirm all details. This simple, crucial step can save you from a devastating financial loss.
Your Security is Our Priority:
If you are unsure if your system is safe, or if you clicked something you shouldn’t have, give Christ IT a call immediately. We can help.
Sincerely,
Jason
Owner, Christ IT Services
