Warning: Marketing Scam Please be aware of marketing scams linked to the coronavirus.
We understand that a phishing email has been received by several people purporting to be from the EACTS President.
The initial emails invite a response and a follow up email then requests money, citing travel issues due to the coronavirus.

EACTS has nothing to do with any such emails

The emails have not come from EACTS email accounts

We are alerting you to this marketing scam as the emails have been received by some people closely connected with EACTS.
Please refer to official advice in your country on reducing the risk of receiving marketing scams and how to report them.
Contacting EACTS We have also taken action to support the health and safety of EACTS staff.
We are encouraging colleagues to work from home.

Our Windsor office in the UK is closed until further notice to EACTS members and visitors

You can continue to contact the office about EACTS related queries by emailing staff direct or using the generic email address: [email protected] Stay safe and follow official advice https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019 The post Coronavirus | COVID-19: Health and Safety Advice appeared first on EACTS.
