🚨 Scam Alert: “Urgent” Emails from “Leadership”

Sailors and Marines—watch for emails that look like they’re from your chain of command asking for quick action (gift cards, info, or links).

🔎 Check before you act:
• Verify the sender’s email (not just the name)
• Hover over links. Don’t click if it looks off
• When in doubt, confirm directly

⚠️ Got a suspicious email?
Report it, don’t forward it, and secure your account.
