The internet provider for VT CPA has been notified and consulted. Unfortunately, we cannot prevent this from happening as it is coming from random and different Gmail accounts--likely ones that have been compromised.

Please note that VT CPA will only send emails from accounts that start with "membersupport" or "Sadie" @vtcpa.org and we use Constant Contact for other emails. Please contact us if you have any further questions.
