Spam/junk emails

We understand that some members have received emails and correspondence from different organisations or awards committees, advising them that they have been nominated for or have won an award through their practice, and has asked for a considerable amount of money to be paid by the member to ensure the marketing and advertising of this award. 

 

These spam awards are nothing to do with CIAT and that unless anything is confirmed as endorsed or supported by CIAT we have no control over them and would suggest that members investigate their validity themselves before making a decision to accept or enter such invitations; or delete or add them to your spam emails.

 

We would consider these emails are similar to other types of emails trying to obtain money or personal information. 

 

The Institute receives many similar types of emails and to investigate these would be too resource heavy and probably without resolution.
