THE RADON REPORTER | 5 All official solicitations for events involve advance registrations through legitimate organizational websites. Payment of the association’s and chapters’ legitimate expenses is handled exclusively by the IEA office. Some general advice: • One way to spot if an email is coming from a fake address: hit “Reply” and inspect what’s in the “To” field. 1. If it doesn’t match the email address of the person who you thought emailed you, it’s likely a scam. 2. If you receive an email you suspect is not legitimate, email the person who has been impersonated, through a new email message (not a forward), to let them know. It is possible that their account has been hacked. 3. Never click a link or button, download anything, or provide personal or private information, without verifying the message is real. • Additional guidance here. CAUTION Several IEA members have been targeted by scam emails, with fake email addresses of IEA leaders, that are seeking funds for emergencies, issuing invitations to fictitious events, and more. IEA, its board members and chapter leaders will never ask an industry member to send money “immediately” or “today” or “now” for any reason.
