INTERNET SCAM

We have received an e-mail that indicates there is a phishing scam, which is an attempt to gain personal information. There have been increasing reports of users receiving email from the address abuse@vba.va.gov, asking them to check an account by clicking on a link. This email is not a VA address and is fake and the link in the email is to a web site in Asia. Please notify your members of this phishing scam and instruct them to delete this email if they receive it. DO NOT OPEN the email.
