Specifically, Morelle criticized the use of a \u201cno-reply\u201d email address and embedded links within official email communications.\n\n\u201cThe use of embedded links sent from the \u2018no-reply\u2019 email creates an opportunity for bad actors to take advantage of unsuspecting recipients,\u201d wrote Congressman Joe Morelle in his letter. \u201cMalicious actors can easily mimic this format and trick users into releasing personal and private information for their criminal gain; this risk is especially acute among recipients who may not have the tools or knowledge to determine whether the message is authentic or not. This increases the likelihood that already vulnerable populations fall victim to phishing schemes.\u201d\n\nMorelle expressed his continued concern over these practices in his letter, which builds on his existing work to keep seniors\u2014and all Americans\u2014safe from bad actors online. Recently, Congressman Morelle partnered with Lifespan of Greater Rochester to provide older members of our community with the tools and knowledge needed to make safe, informed decisions during the holiday season.\n\nTo hear Congressman Morelle\u2019s tips-and-tricks to combat scams and keep you and your family safe online, watch his video here.\n\nTo read the full text of Congressman Morelle\u2019s letter to the Social Security Administration, click here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://morelle.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-joe-morelle-calls-social-security-administration-take-action"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7671050261706114, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
