Phishing scam pretending to be State Bar targeting Michigan attorneys

An apparent phishing scam was sent to some members of the State Bar of Michigan this afternoon, claiming to be from a Board commissioner. All Michigan attorneys are advised to be on high alert and not to respond to the email.

The subject line of the fraudulent email is "State Bar of Michigan" and sent from the email address Lisa.hamameh(at)members-sbm.org. This is not a legitimate State Bar email format. Do not respond.

Members who did respond reported that they were asked for their Microsoft logins. Here are some tips from the Federal Trade Commission for recognizing scam emails.
