There is a current spam/phishing effort targeting Oregon State Bar members. The email comes from a “member-osbar.org” domain name, and purports to be a follow up to an email sent last week from OSB President Dave Rosen. This email and domain name are not affiliated with the bar. OSB was successful in getting these domains suspended by the provider. Questions can be directed to it-support@osbar.org. The OSB maintains a scam alerts page to help alert our membership and the public.
