Scammers/spammers purporting to be IFAC officials

Please do not reply to scam/spam emails! An e-mail from Dong-il (Dan) Cho from a gmail account is scam!

Again, the IFAC community is being targeted by scammers/spammers purporting to be IFAC officials. Some of you may have received a "request" for assistance from the IFAC president. He did not send this email, nor is this email any email address that he has.

Please do not engage with these email senders- don't reply to the messages, don't provide information, funds, etc.
