Potential MRC Scam

Volunteer organizations like MRC and CERT are not immune to Internet scams trying to get people to share their personal information.

Last week MRC units in Washington, Oregon and Idaho received a troubling email from a software engineer inviting MRC members to use the new "website for your MRC program." The email was disguised to look like it came from the specific MRC Unit of the member. Once a user followed the link to website, it asked the user to input various personal information.

Please remember Davis County MRC information only comes from the Unit Director or the Unit Coordinator. When the MRC plans to utilize a new web-based program, Utah Responds for example, the Unit Director and/or Unit Coordinator will notify all membership before hand.

If members are ever concerned regarding the validity of information sent via email, or on a unit web site, please contact the Unit Director or Unit Coordinator for clarification.

Thank you.
