We would like to inform you that there is a fake email going around claiming copyright infringement from scammers pretending to have copyrights. This is a global scam that has unfortunately found its way to the United States, even targeting some of our clients.

We take information security very seriously and ask that you also be vigilant in order to prevent fraud and to help protect your company. If you happen to receive this email, DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OF THE LINKS and do not save or forward the email.
