Recently, we have heard from members reporting having received emails from bad actors falsely representing themselves as “the new lead accountant” for AHTD. If you have received any invoice payment requests from AHTD, please double-check to make certain they are truly coming from the association and are not a phishing attempt. The best place to check is the AHTD website. By logging into your AHTD account you can always see if you have an overdue invoice that needs to be paid. And, if you want to know who is on our staff, click here to see our names and ALL of our smiling faces!

If it smells fishy, it is probably phishing!
