An important reminder from Blue Valley…   

Tis the Season....For the bad guys who attempt to take advantage of you! There has been a recent spate of fraudulent emails to our customers, the purpose of which is to elicit personal information for criminal purposes. This is known as ‘phishing’ and is something of which you should be very wary since the emails often appear to be from legitimate sources. Here are some tips to help you avoid an unhappy holiday season:

·         Legitimate businesses, Blue Valley Tele-Communications included, will not ask you for information regarding your account, personal identification, or credit cards via email! If you receive an email with a link asking you to confirm any of this information, contact that business directly.

·         Make sure that your computer has the latest recommended patches installed for your operating system and applications, and that your anti-virus software is active and up to date, as well.

·         Read the emails very carefully before you open any attachments or click on any links! Most phishing attacks will contain misspelled words or odd sentences. If you are still uncertain, throw it away!

·         If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Blue Valley Tele-Communications at 785.799.3311 or info@bluevalley.net!

All of us at Blue Valley Tele-Communications wish a safe and happy holiday season for you and your family!
