DCARC members

We have had scammers try to impersonate our officers (Tom and Fred) and get us to buy Credit Card cash cards and read the numbers to them. Our officers will never ask a club member to do so. First we all have personal friends to go to. Should we need to go to a fellow officer say Tom to me, we have more personal way to make contact.

Never believe a request comes from one of us.

One of the security experts I follow preaches the "Trust No One" philosophy and he is right!.

Hi all,

A few of you have received emails from scammers, pretending to be me. 

Obviously it was not ME!  I don't need gift cards or PayPal donations.  It is unfortunate that we receive these emails.  I receive between 6 and 10 scammer emails a day.

NEVER click on a link on an email that you received unsolicited and you aren't sure it came from where it says it came from. 

Example:  If I receive an email saying that my account has been suspended from Amazon, PayPal, a bank, etc.etc... I NEVER click on the link provided and I ALWAYS go directly to my account login address and check!  Everything is always fine.

IF and email looks like it comes from your bank, but it is a scam,  you can forward it to the bank and they will research it.  EXAMPLE: Bank of America says to forward the email, as is, with attachments, to "[email protected]" then delete it.  Most larger providers offer the same i.e. abuse@"providers name"

Cheers and I hope to see everyone This Wednesday!

Very 73,
Randy N4QV
