Be On The Lookout for Look-Alike Emails

We are fortunate to have a reliable and dependable IT firm that supports our technology systems, and one of the many benefits of their guidance is to let us know about new methods of email spam or ‘spoofing.’

The emails you receive from us are from our domain financialgroup.com. We understand that someone has purchased the domain financialgroups.com (with the added ‘s’) perhaps with the intention of spoofing us or our clients. Please be on the alert.
