JACKSON COUNTY, OREGON — Jackson County Emergency Management is alerting residents to a phishing email scam currently circulating in the community. The fraudulent emails appear to come from “Jackson Alerts,” Jackson County’s mass notification system for official emergency notifications. The email may claim that a recipient’s Jackson Alerts account will be deleted within 48 hours unless they click a link to confirm their information.
“These emails are not legitimate and were not sent by Jackson County Emergency Management,” said Delaney Richmond, Jackson County Emergency Manager. “We urge residents to remain vigilant and protect themselves by avoiding emails that come from suspicious sender email addresses and contain questionable links.”
Residents who receive one of these fraudulent messages should follow the phishing tips below:
- Do NOT click on any links or open attachments.
- Never share personal or financial information unless they can verify the request is legitimate.
- Verify the message by contacting Jackson County Emergency Management directly through official phone numbers or website, rather than using the contact details provided in the suspicious email.
- Report the email as a phishing attempt within their email inbox.
Jackson County Emergency Management is actively monitoring the situation and coordinating cybersecurity resources to protect residents. Updates will be shared as new information becomes available.
“We take the security of our residents seriously,” added Richmond. “Our priority is to ensure that our community can continue to trust the Jackson Alerts system for timely and accurate emergency notifications.”
