Companies and associations around the country have received multiple versions of the above offer in the past 10 days. The goal is to induce individuals to respond to the sender and then, once engaged in the communication, obtain personal information such as passwords, credit card numbers, or payment from the individual.

Some warning signs of these fake offers are poor grammar and punctuation, such as improper capitalization, misuse of commas, periods, or question marks. In addition, the domain is not associated with a website.

Please do not respond to emails offering to provide the MLA “mailing list.” The MLA’s membership list has not been acquired by a third party.
