Scam Alert

NIPR is aware of a phishing email targeting NIPR clients, licensing applicants, and administrators. These emails are about past due invoices and may appear to be sent from our domains: @nipr.com, @naic.org, or @stripe. Please note that these emails may not be from our company. If you receive a suspicious invoice email claiming to be from us, do not open any attachments, click on any links, or submit payment.

How to Identify a Fraudulent Email:

  • Check the sender's email address: Fraudulent emails often use addresses that look like ours. Click on the domain name to unmask the vanity/fake domain, revealing the true sender.
  • Look for generic greetings: Emails that begin with "Dear Customer" instead of your actual name or customer ID may be phishing attempts.
  • Examine the tone and grammar: Phishing emails often contain spelling mistakes, unusual phrasing, or a sense of urgency to get you to act quickly.
  • Hover over links (don’t click): This reveals the actual URL and can help you determine if it's legitimate.
Verify with NIPR directly: If you ever receive an unexpected invoice or are unsure about an email's authenticity, please contact niprbillingdept@nipr.com.
Important Information

The Michigan Department of Insurance Financial Services (DIFS) has instructed its licensing examination vendor, PSI Services, LLC, to discontinue all remote proctored insurance examinations for the state of Michigan.

The option for individuals to take insurance examinations remotely was originally introduced in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. However, with the conclusion of that emergency and following a review of ongoing security risks associated with remote proctored exams in uncontrolled environments, DIFS has determined that the discontinuance of remote testing is necessary.
