TRINIDAD NAVARRO STATE OF DELAWARE COMMISSIONER DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE

PRODUCERS AND ADJUSTERS BULLETIN NO. 41 TO: ALL LICENSED INSURANCE PROFESSIONALS LICENSED TO TRANSACT BUSINESS IN DELAWARE AND INTERESTED PARTIES RE: PHISHING EMAILS IMPERSONATING NIPR DATED: April ____, 2026 The Delaware Department of Insurance ("Department") is issuing this Bulletin to warn licensees about a targeted phishing campaign in which fraudulent emails falsely claim to be past-due invoices from the National Insurance Producer Registry ("NIPR"). These messages may appear to originate legitimate looking domains, including @nipr.com, @naic.org, or @stripe.com. These emails are designed to trick recipients into clicking on malicious links or submitting unauthorized payments. This Bulletin provides guidance on identifying these fraudulent messages and outlines recommended protective actions. Detection of Fraudulent Past-Due Invoice Emails Licensees are advised to use caution when emails exhibit any of the following warning signs:

• An invoice or payment request you were not expecting
• Urgent language demanding immediate payment or action
• Hyperlinks that do not direct to an official NIPR domain
• Attachments labeled as invoices or payment confirmations

• Slight misspellings, unusual formatting, or inconsistencies in the sender's address
  If any of these indicators are present, treat the message as suspicious. Recommended Actions

• Do not click links or open attachments in any unexpected NIPR invoice email

• Verify invoice authenticity directly with NIPR at niprbillingdept@nipr.com

• Delete the email if it appears fraudulent

• Report suspicious messages to your IT or security team

• Ensure staff are trained to recognize invoice‑related phishing attempts
  Questions about this Bulletin should be emailed to Licensing@delaware.gov.
