Important Rotary Safety & Security Notice
Dear Rotarians,
I have received some correspondence regarding scam emails which have been received
Fraudulent attacks continue to rise across all areas of government service, business, and community service organisations.
Please be aware that Rotary Club and District officials will never ask you to purchase gift cards via email or text, especially in an unexpected or secret request with instructions not to call and verify.
If you are unsure of any such requests by email or text, call the Rotarian directly to verify and/or contact your Club leadership.
If you don't have their details already in your phone, you can find contact numbers for our members via the District Directory on our website https://rotary9620.org/ (select "Member Login" at the top right of the page for your ClubRunner credentials, then click on "District" and select "District Directory 2024-25").
Please also take extra care to verify any bank transfer details, donation requests, and other transactions.
If you notice that an email has come from a slightly incorrect version of an email address with an extra letter or punctuation, report that address as spam in your email system. Please do not forward on emails with suspicious links to others. You can also report these to www.scamwatch.gov.au
This is an issue affecting many areas of our communities, especially coming into the busy holiday season. Please look after yourselves, and don't hesitate to contact your Club or District leadership if you have any concerns.
Yours in Rotary,
Sue Mulraney
District Governor
