Please Be Cautious - SCAM Emails
Scammers are always looking for new and creative ways to deceive the public.  While trying to convince you these are legit they are using emails not assigned to the sender.  If in question of legitimacy, please compare the senders email to those associated with our directors on the SDMHA website.  

Emails and texts happen frequently asking to chat, wishing to provide photos or asking for you to purchase gift cards.  We will not communicate or request anything in this manner.  Examples of some of the attempts are posted below.  If you are a recipient of one of these emails ..... "Ignore" & "DELETE"

Please stay safe, the details should help you confirm it is a scam.  Or even the grammer used.

Here's what I want you to do for me because I'm a little busy right now. I have been working on incentives and I aimed at surprising some of our diligent staff with gift cards this week. This should be Confidential until they all have the gift cards as it's a surprise and you will keep one for yourself too. I want you to pick the gift cards for me and I will refund you once I am done.

Can you get this done today?
