Esports are on the rise—and it’s no longer just the domain of digitally savvy teenagers or young professionals.

Spotting Fraudulent Emails and Online Scams
We have discovered hackers are using Alpine Communications as their front to steal email credentials. Once hackers gain entrance into the email account, they are deleting existing email, adding a forward to email, and then setting it up to delete incoming emails once they have been forwarded. This allows all emails to be sent to a new email address without the customer knowing what has been delivered to their inbox. If you suspect you have entered information into a fake website, please call our 24/7 tech support, 1-888-264-2908, to have us assist in reviewing email preferences.
