Scam Alert! Don't Fall for These Emails or Calls

Beware of These Phone Calls/Emails

A PSAI Board member received the e-mail shown here, saying that a PSAI International Summit Attendee mailing list is available for purchase. If you get a similar e-mail, do not click on links or respond in any way. This is spam. PSAI will NEVER sell attendee mailing lists.

The e-mail in question had a "From" address from the domain "scribexpo.com." That domain is not associated with PSAI. Block any e-mails you receive from this company or any others that offer to sell you mailing lists or discounted hotel rooms. Also note that the PSAI logo is very blurry and sized incorrectly. Actual emails from our organization should not have logos that look so bad.

A previous phishing scheme targeted PSAI members and probably other PROs. That one came in the form of voice phone calls from individuals claiming to work for "Martini Hughes and Grossman," calling themselves "important lawyers" working for PSAI to collect outstanding balances. This is a scam. Do not engage with the people making these calls.

PSAI members (and others who purchase events or other items from our website) can always check for outstanding balances by logging into their PSAI website portal or by calling our office at 952-854-8300.

While PSAI cannot take direct action, we encourage you to report and block offending emails and phone numbers when possible. We also encourage you to report these incidents to federal authorities:

Here's the FBI's online incident reporting tool: https://www.ic3.gov/

Here's the FTC fraud reporting site: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/

Your state's attorney general or commerce department may also prove helpful in investigating scams or fraud.
