Beware of email scams

Question

Beware of email scams

Answer

Customers should be aware of a scam in which recipients receive an email that claims to come from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS).  The email states that the customer's password has been established or changed with an attachment that contains malicious software (malware) that infects the intended victim's computers.  To avoid malware do not click on any links, or open any attachments.  Be vigilant and update your computer with antivirus software and patches.

DFAS does send notifications when a Password has been established or changed in myPay from DFAS-SmartDocs@mail.mil .  Emails from DFAS-SmartDocs@mail.mil do not contain attachments of any kind.  Ensure that when you receive an email from DFAS that the email is being sent to an email address that you have registered with DFAS.
