Be on the lookout for a recent wave of fraudulent emails impersonating NJSBA staff, leadership, and fellow members. These scammers often use deceptive display names to request unexpected wire transfers, gift cards, or invoice payments.
- Check the Sender: It is sometimes easy to spot a fake; always verify that the actual underlying email address comes from an official domain rather than a free, personal account.
- Watch for Financial Requests: Be highly suspicious of any message arriving from a non-official email address that urgently asks for money or payment.
- Always Verify by Phone: Never transfer funds without first speaking to the person directly by calling a known, publicly published phone number.
