The Utah State Bar is aware of a fraudulent email currently circulating that impersonates our Executive Director, Elizabeth Wright. It uses a deceptive email address — elizabeth.wright@ utahbar.org.sendcrp.com — that is not affiliated with the Bar.

The phishing email:

• Addresses recipients by name (e.g., “Dear [First Name] [Last Name]”)
• References “a matter that surfaced earlier this week involving a small number of firms including your firm [Firm Name]”
• Requests that you reply with your phone number so the sender can “reach you directly”

This message did not come from the Utah State Bar and should be treated as a phishing attempt.

What You Should Do

Please do not reply to the email, and do not provide your phone number or any other personal or firm information. Simply delete the message from your inbox or report it as phishing to your email provider.
