ASMP continues to advise caution when receiving or acting upon any email communications from unknown persons about ASMP member financial transactions, offers proposing lucrative photo assignments, and the sale of ASMP mailing lists.
While the communication may appear legitimate, it is important that you do your due diligence prior to entering into any financial arrangement to avoid being a victim of fraud. Regarding the recent emails offering ASMP Mailing Lists (see sample post detail below), ASMP wants to confirm that it has not had a breach of its member database, and per ASMP’s Privacy Policy, it does not sell its mailing lists to any third parties.
If you have potential business scams directed at you via email or online through your website, ASMP encourages you to report these spam emails to your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and report all potential business scams as cyber crimes to the FBI IC3.
