PHISHING ALERT There are some phishers who have copied our logo and are sending letters out claiming to be employees of SAIFM and offering to share a vast amount of money with the recipient. If you receive such an email, please delete it and do not communicate with the sender. Remember that whenever you are solicited by email by somebody you do not know and who wants your "help" with getting some money, it is always an attempt to con you out of your money. Also remember that if any bank emails you with a link that you need to click on to log in to your bank account, it is a scam. Just delete the email and do not communicate with the sender.
