BOGUS EMAIL MESSAGES:
-------------------------------
BEWARE! Several myPay customers have informed us (DFAS) that fraudulent
SmartDocs email messages are being sent that could put your information and
finances at risk.
The reported invalid emails contain what appears to be from a valid
SmartDocs email address. The originators of these emails have "spoofed"
their messages to hide their true origin and placed the SmartDocs address in
the "From" line to make the email appear legitimate.
Valid SmartDocs messages from DFAS are always sent in plain text, do not
include attachments and do not ask you to send any information in response.
Your email program may automatically convert a valid SmartDocs message into
HTML and convert some text into clickable links. We recommend that you do
NOT click on any links within any email message. To access a site
referenced in an email, open your browser and type the link (URL) directly
into the browser.
Don't get fooled. If you receive a SmartDocs message that contains a link,
don't click on it. If a URL is listed in the message type it in manually
within your browser. Delete unexpected or unsolicited messages that
contain attachments or that request you to send information back.
Becoming a victim is easy. Utilizing a few basic precautions with email
handling are critical to protecting your information, finances and identity.
