November's Business After Hours at Serenity in the Mountains

Here are a Few Highlights! Thanks for Hosting!

We want to alert our valued members and partners to be cautious of potential scam emails that may appear to be sent from the Fannin County Chamber of Commerce. (Example shown) Scammers often use deceptive tactics to impersonate legitimate organizations, including sending emails that look official but aim to trick recipients into disclosing personal information, making fraudulent payments, or taking other harmful actions. Recent scam emails have come from the following addresses: steve.murray@businessbox-s.com, cynthia@digileadhub.info, holy@digiemail.services

To protect yourself and your information, please keep the following precautions in mind:

Check the Sender: Verify the email address and domain of the sender. Legitimate communications from the Fannin County Chamber of Commerce will come from official domains, such as "@blueridgemountains.com." Be wary of unfamiliar or suspicious email addresses.

Be Cautious with Links and Attachments: Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from emails if you are unsure of their authenticity. Scammers often use these to deliver malware or phishing websites.

Review the Content: Pay attention to the language, grammar, and tone used in the email. Scam emails may contain spelling errors, odd language, or urgent requests for sensitive information.

Contact the Chamber Directly: If you receive an email that seems suspicious, do not reply or engage with the sender. Instead, contact the Fannin County Chamber of Commerce directly to verify the legitimacy of the communication.

Thank you for your vigilance, and together, we can protect our community from cyber threats.
