The Mississippi Bar is aware of a national phishing scam targeting lawyers around the country in recent days. Don’t fall for it!

Fraudulent emails are being sent to lawyers which look like official messages from State Bar leadership or staff that use a deceptive email address. The emails ask the recipient to click through to confirm their preferences for “secure communication.”

Lawyers in multiple State Bars have been targeted this week. Mississippi could be next. We are being proactive and sending this to you as a scam alert.

If you receive an email like this, please be aware it is a scam. Emails from the Bar will always include the specific domain @msbar.org in the "from" field of your email application and no variation of that.

If you receive a fraudulent email claiming to be from the Bar, we recommend that you delete it immediately. Members should not respond to the message, click on any links, or provide personal information.
