Warning to Rotarians about Scam

ATTN: All Rotarians:

Recently, Rotarians have received e-mails that appear to be from Rotary International requesting personal information such as passwords, usernames, and addresses.  Please inform your club members, as soon as possible, that these are scam messages and should be disregarded and deleted immediately.

Rotary International will not request personal information via e-mail under any circumstances.  If any club members have divulged personal information, please advise them to follow up with the appropriate reporting authorities, and to change any information possible (passwords, etc.).

To read more about the latest email scam targeting Rotarians please visit: <http://www.rotary.org/newsroom/announcements/050606.html>.  General information about email scams or "phishing" schemes can be found at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission site: <http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/phishingalrt.htm>. 

If you have any further questions please feel free to email your club and District Administrative representative: <http://www.rotary.org/support/CDAreps/index.html>.  I am sorry for any inconvenience and hope that through informing our membership we can avoid future problems.

Thank you for your assistance in bringing this matter to the attention of our volunteers.

Sincerely,

Ed Futa
General Secretary
