Phishing emails using SHRM name

I just wanted to give our members a heads up that there is an email being sent out to HR professionals. It claims to be an invoice from SHRM for your annual membership fees. The scammers have lifted logos and such and even give the correct phone numbers. It looks like they are trying to get you to send a check to their fake address. That was the piece of information that didn't match SHRM website information.

It would probably be safer to go to SHRM's website and renew over the phone or through their secure payment portal. If you need to pay by check you can go to their printable application here: https://www.shrm.org/about-shrm/Documents/SHRMProfessionalMembershipApplication.pdf

Please be cautious when you receive requests for information or payment that you didn't instigate. It seems every year there are more schemes out there.

Please let us know if you would like a copy of the Domestic Violence in the Workplace PP presentation that Skagit Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services Presented at the April SIHRMA breakfast Meeting.  You can contact awilson@chinookenterprises.org for more information.

Here is your chance to help out our community. SIHRMA is sponsoring a workshop for job seekers to help them strengthen their resume, interview, networking and social media skills. Please contact Annemarie or Anusha to volunteer.
