Dear Valued Customers,

We are reaching out to you today with an urgent message regarding email security.

It has come to our attention that there are malicious individuals attempting to deceive our customers by impersonating MSR Distribution via email. These scammers are operating from Gmail accounts, masquerading as representatives of MSR Distribution, and attempting to deceive recipients for fraudulent purposes. We want to assure you that we take these matters very seriously and are actively working to mitigate any potential risks associated with these scams.

To safeguard yourself and your organization against these fraudulent activities, we urge you to remain vigilant and take note of the following precautions:

Check the sender's email address: Authentic emails from MSR Distribution will always come from addresses ending with "@msrdistribution.com". If you receive an email claiming to be from us but it's from a different domain, especially a generic one like Gmail, Yahoo, or others, exercise caution.

Scrutinize the content: Be wary of emails containing urgent requests for sensitive information or payment details. Scammers often create a sense of urgency to manipulate recipients into acting without thinking critically.

Hover over links: Before clicking on any links within an email, hover your mouse cursor over them to reveal the actual destination URL. If the link address seems suspicious or unrelated to MSR Distribution, refrain from clicking on it.

Verify unusual requests: If you receive an email requesting unusual actions, such as wire transfers, changes to payment methods, or sharing of confidential information, verify the request through a separate communication channel, such as a phone call to MSR Distribution.

Stay informed: Regularly educate yourself and your team about common phishing tactics and best practices for email security. Awareness is one of the most effective defenses against cyber threats.

Should you ever have doubts about the authenticity of an email claiming to be from MSR Distribution, please do not hesitate to contact us directly. Our team is committed to assisting you in verifying the legitimacy of any communication purportedly from our company. Your security and trust are of utmost importance to us, and we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and transparency in all our communications. By working together and remaining vigilant, we can effectively combat these malicious attempts to compromise our collective security.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and for your continued support of MSR Distribution.

Warm regards,
Christopher Thomas
MSR Distribution
