Fraudulent Convention Emails

It has come to our attention that a fraudulent email scam has been circulating to members regarding the acquisition of SARM convention visitor/attendee lists. SARM is in no way affiliated with these companies sending out these emails and does not release convention attendee information to outside parties.

With data breaches and cyber attacks on the rise, we are reminding you to stay vigilant against phishing attempts.

 

Hackers use deceptive practices to trick people into sharing their data. The most common technique is email phishing. Hackers send messages that appear legitimate or look like they're from someone you trust so that you engage with the message or click on malicious attachments. 

 

Here are some tips to keep in mind to avoid falling victim to these types of scams:

 

  • Double-check that the sender's email address matches who they claim to be
  • Don't click a link or download from someone you don't know, or weren't expecting
  • Don't reply to a suspicious email or message from an email you don't recognize
  • Inform your IT solutions partner or provider about any suspicious or potential attempts

 

If you receive an email from ellin.taurus@eventdatarxinc.com, zoya.evan@dataseccentric.com, winter@e1businessdata.services, or any other unknown email addresses, please disregard it, block it, and delete it.

Producers are hoping for moisture to help with head and pod filling on later seeded crops but for many advanced crops, any moisture received would have little impact on yield at this stage.
