The Grande Prairie and District Chamber of Commerce is warning residents after receiving reports of people receiving suspicious emails supposedly from them.
According to the chamber, the email comes from an unknown source offering to sell the organization’s “Mailing List/Distribution List” or “Registrants/Attendee Contacts” from chamber events.
“We DO NOT share our contact list with anyone. Our members choose what information they share on our website, and even then our directory does NOT publish emails or websites.”
The chamber adds that a link is needed to access their directory, a measure taken to prevent cyber mining. The organization is reminding residents to be vigilant regarding web security settings and to check in with their provider if they have a business account. Anyone who allegedly receives suspicious emails from the chamber is asked to inform them.
