Be aware of scammers…..

Please be aware that ESTIV and many other EU-based societies are again facing the increased activity of scams and fraudulent e-mails requesting bank transfers to various accounts. The emails are drafted by skilled scammers, who obtain their information through social networks.

They use tricks to convince you that these emails are on behalf of the CEO, CFO or secretary – these requests usually look as if they are coming from familiar e-mail addresses. They may attach fake invoices or communications. Be careful, and please report to us any suspicious emails that you may receive.

Other companies may offer you member’s /conference lists – these requests and offers never came by ESTIV.

Please be carefull and do not communicate with these individuals.

Many thanks,

ESTIV Board
