It has come to our attention several IHCA members have received emails appearing to be from IHCA staff members, with an attachment labeled as an unpaid invoice. These are scam emails. Please be aware, while it may display as coming from an IHCA staff member, but they are not generated from the IHCA server. Please do not open any attachments on these emails, and immediately report them as spam/phishing attempts. If you question about an invoice, please call the IHCA office.
