We are writing to you today with a crucial and important message regarding a potential security concern that may affect members of our community.
It’s remained at our attention that a phishing e-mail scam has been circulating for an extended period of time, attempting to impersonate the Sudbury Wolves organization, team members, and staff. These fraudulent emails may look legitimate and often ask for sensitive information, personal details, financial credentials and requests for e-transfers.
A fraudulent e-mail scam that has remained prevalent is a scam involving the impersonation of an SWSE staff member, asking local businesses for money through means such as e-transfer for the opportunity to be a vendor at Wolves games.
