Scam alert
Cyberthieves and hackers are taking advantage of the pandemic to scam the general public, and we are aware that someone is promising to sell an NCRA mailing list. Don’t be fooled! Official email requests from NCRA will come from either ncra.org/constant contact or an email with an @ncra.org name. NCRA emails also include an @ncra.org reply email. If in doubt about something you’ve received, email membership@ncra.org.
