Scam Alert: Requests for payment from fraudulent email accounts

July 15, 2024

Beware of requests for vendor payments from an email address that looks similar to a trusted vendor but is not, upon close review, an exact match for the legitimate sender.  Common scams now include fraudsters buying domain names that are similar, but not identical, to trusted service providers. The domain names typically use a character like "I" instead of "l" to visually trick the recipient into thinking it is a trusted sender.

Please know that ShindelRock would never request payment directly via email.  Payment via our secure client login, at www.shindelrock.com, is safe, but if you ever have concerns about the integrity of a communication from us, please contact our office at 248-855-8833 or your ShindelRock tax professional.
