Watch out a new sophisticated scam pretending to be from AISPA.ORG

Here we go again, first it was the better business bureau and now emails flooding in from AISPA

See a few examples. If you have ever received one of these DELETE – DO NOT OPEN ANY LINKS. If you are a member please go to their offical website and make contact with them to report this, send them the headers so they can try to trace these criminals.

I REPEAT DO NOT OPEN ANY LINKS FROM THE EMAILS YOU GET.
