🚨 Beware of Phishing Scams! 🚨

This was received in our email this morning!

Phishing emails are getting more convincing, but don't be fooled!

Scammers are trying to steal your personal info by pretending to be trusted companies. Here’s how to spot them:

- Check the sender's email – Does it look suspicious?
- Hover over links – Are they legit, or do they look weird?
- Watch for urgency – Scammers love making you feel like you need to act fast.
- Look for mistakes – Spelling or grammar errors? Big red flag.

DO NOT click on suspicious links or share personal info. When in doubt, delete it!

Stay safe online! 💻🔒
