In our messages to you, we include a security footer message with your name and your organization’s name to help you distinguish authentic GovTransfer emails from “phishing” email messages. “Phishing” emails often look very similar to legitimate ones, but they likely wouldn’t have this personalized information and may also contain links that direct you to malicious sites instead of GovTransfer.
While the presence of this security footer message alone doesn’t guarantee that an email is legitimate, it gives you additional assurance that the email originated from GovTransfer. Most “phishing” attacks targeting large mailing lists won’t have this information. When in doubt, open a new browser window and go directly to govtransfer.com to access the information referenced in this email. Fraudsters may use a practice called phishing to try to obtain sensitive data such as usernames or passwords.
If you suspect that you’ve received a “phishing” email impersonating GovTransfer, please forward the entire email to phishing@govtransfer.com.
