An email alerting Amateurs to a possible email scam involving ARRL is making 
the rounds on the Internet.

Because of a miscommunication within ARRL Headquarters, member Ron Bean, KJ5XX 
was led to believe that an email he had received regarding a DXCC application 
was fraudulent. The email Ron received was indeed sent by an employee of ARRL 
for a legitimate DXCC inquiry.

The DXCC Branch has since changed the email format for communications with 
customers involving payment questions.

Any further questions about DXCC should be directed to Awards Manager Bill 
Moore, NC1L at bmoore@arrl.org or 860-594-0234.

ARRL apologizes for the confusion.

73,

Sean Kutzko, KX9X
