Scammers are reportedly using the name of an obscure state board to attempt to rip off unsuspecting residents.
Residents are receiving emails, purported to be from the Alabama State Board of Public Accountancy (ASBPA), that request sensitive personal information or business information. Many of those receiving the requests are professional members who are licensed by the board, but some are out of state individuals who have no affiliation with the board, according to a release issued by Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange.
