The National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB) has warned its membership to be on the alert for phishing emails that were crafted to look like official messaging from the organization.
NAMB noted the emails came from the @vk.com domain with urgent messaging that claimed the recipient’s NAMB membership fee was overdue and required immediate payment. @vk.com is a social media domain based in Russia.
“This email is NOT from NAMB,” said the organization’s message to its membership. “This is a fraudulent attempt to compromise your personal and financial information.”
NAMB added that the only membership-related communications it sends comes from the [email protected] and [email protected] email addresses.
“If you receive an email regarding your NAMB membership, membership renewal, or payment from ANY other email address, it is fraudulent,” NAMB added. “Please do not engage with it and contact us immediately.”
