IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM MISSISSIPPI STATE BOARD OF CONTRACTORS REGARDING FRAUDULENT EMAILS
The Mississippi State Board of Contractors (MSBOC) has been made aware of fraudulent emails being sent by individuals falsely claiming to represent our agency.
These scam emails may request personal information, demand payment, or reference licensing issues in an attempt to appear legitimate. Please be advised that MSBOC will never request sensitive personal information, passwords, or payment through unsolicited email communications.
If you receive a suspicious email claiming to be from MSBOC:
- Do not click on any links or download attachments.
- Do not provide personal or financial information.
- Verify the communication by contacting our office directly using the official contact information listed on our website under General Info – About MSBOC.
We encourage licensees and members of the public to remain vigilant and report any suspected fraudulent activity to our office immediately.
Protecting our contractors and the citizens of Mississippi is a top priority. We appreciate your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Mississippi State Board of Contractors
