Our staff is quickly informed of phishing attempts in which cybercriminals impersonate the Appraisal Institute and try to steal personal information. These emails may appear convincing but are not from us. Please remain vigilant and follow the guidance below to help protect yourself:
How to Spot a Suspicious Email:
- Check the sender: If the email does not come from our official domain (e.g., @appraisalinstitute.org), it is not legitimate.
- Hover before you click: If a link doesn’t point back to our website (e.g., www.appraisalinstitute.org), do not click on it.
- Avoid sharing personal or financial information: We will never ask for sensitive data such as passwords or credit card details via email.
- Watch for urgency: Be suspicious of emails that pressure you to act quickly or request personal information, passwords, or login credentials.
When in Doubt:
- Do not click on any links or download attachments.
- Do not respond with personal or account information.
