been over a week since we joined the effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 by working from home. It goes without saying that technology has been critical in our ability to manage investment portfolios and address clients’ needs. \r\n\r\nTaking steps to ensure connectivity to the resources we need combined with the security to protect them is of utmost importance. Never has that been more true than with this unprecedented market and social disruption.\r\n\r\nAnother important facet to these efforts is to inform colleagues and clients about the scams that have been increasing of late. Email subject lines mentioning “COVID-19” or “coronavirus” are enticing people to click on potential phishing links that could cause security breaches. \r\n\r\n[The Federal Trade Commission’s website](https://consumer.ftc.gov/features/coronavirus-scams-what-ftc-doing) provides current information about scams through your computer and phone. For those finding themselves playing more games at home, the “[FTC Scam Bingo](https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2020/03/now-more-ever-spot-scams-ftcscambingo)” is a clever way to keep threats top-of-mind. \r\n\r\nAs always, if you are a client who has any questions about fraud associated with your investment accounts, please do not hesitate to contact your portfolio manager or client relationship associate.\r\n\r\n**Disclosure**\r\n\r\n*The views expressed represent the opinion of Ferguson Wellman.
