An Important Reminder to help you stay safe during the coronavirus pandemic! <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n We received several emails yesterday with the subject line…<\/span><\/p>\n “Government Response to Coronavirus COVID-19”<\/strong>\u00a0 The email (spam) appeared to have come from an organization called\u00a0 Natural Disasters Monitoring (PAHO).\u00a0 The “from” address was backoffice@pahofinity.xyz – which is a fake email address. The email came with a malware attachment that, if opened,\u00a0 may allow remote access to a PC. It also contained links that led to malware downloads and counterfeit web sites.<\/span><\/p>\n So we want to remind you that scammers will use the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to steal your identity, your credit card numbers, your personal information or even take money from your checking or savings account. <\/span><\/p>\n Their method of choice will be to send unsolicited emails that appear to come from a legitimate health care provider or a government website. They may try to trick you into clicking a link in an email by tricking you into thinking you will get coronavirus test kits, masks, hand sanitizer or coronavirus cures.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These emails may also come with attachments which, if opened, may compromise your computer and even allow hackers to access or control your PC.<\/span><\/p>\n These emails may offer free or low-cost critical healthcare items or services in exchange for your personal information, credit card numbers, bank account numbers or your Medicare or Social Security Number. <\/span><\/p>\n You should view any unsolicited requests for any personal information, or any offers of COVID-19 test kits, masks, hand sanitizer, or cures as fraudulent and dangerous.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n No one has home test kits to send you. No one has face masks to send you. No one is going to send you scarce healthcare items…and no one has a cure for the coronavirus at this time.<\/span><\/p>\n If you get any emails such as we describe above, delete the email immediately. NEVER click links in and NEVER open any attachments that come with unsolicited emails.<\/span><\/p>\n We want to keep you safe. At this critical time, you must stay calm and informed.\u00a0 Your common sense and skepticism will help you stay safe during this global pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n As we’ve always told you…<\/span><\/p>\n DO NOT OPEN ATTACHMENTS IN EMAIL UNLESS YOU ARE SURE OF WHO SENT THEM, YOU WERE EXPECTING THEM, AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n AND ALWAYS…<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Be Careful!
