The American Payroll Association is a global company with an excellent reputation. Occasionally, fraudsters may try to take advantage of APA's reputation by using our name or brand to target your personal and sensitive business information. By creating tempting downloads and attractive websites, fraudsters can lure you to links that prompt you to enter sensitive information or download malware—malicious software such as viruses or spyware. While APA is not liable for the actions of third parties, we are working to prevent and detect fraud where possible. We appreciate your assistance in helping us keep the Internet a safe place to do business.
