Fraud and Scam Protection

At ECPR, we prioritise the security of your personal and payment information. Please be aware of fraudulent activities, including phishing emails, that attempt to collect sensitive data by impersonating ECPR staff, or fake event organisers and service providers offering services on behalf of ECPR.

• Unsolicited Contact: If you receive an unexpected email about travel arrangements, event services, or payments that you did not personally inquire about, do not respond.

• Fake Payment Requests: Fraudulent emails have been sent from scammers, such as, Global Travel Experts, using addresses such [email protected] and [email protected]. These are not legitimate. Stay alert for similar scam emails from other addresses.
• Verify the source: Even if an email looks professional or includes event-related language, always verify it through official ECPR channels. Scammers are skilled at mimicking legitimate communications.

• Do not click on any links or download attachments.
• Block and report the sender.
• Do not share any personal or payment information.
• If you are unsure, contact our support team through our official channels

• Only respond to event-related emails that you have personally initiated or confirmed through official sources.
• Make payments only through the official ECPR channels.
• Stay informed and regularly check our Help Centre and event web pages for updates on security and submission deadlines.

It is crucial to ensure that the travel agency is reputable and reliable when engaging them for booking services. We recommend using those services that are officially listed and published on our website. These agencies have been carefully vetted and are known to provide trustworthy services.

Avoid relying on unsolicited offers, as they may lead to scams or fraudulent activities. Always double-check the legitimacy of the travel agencies before making any commitments or payments to ensure your safety during your travel planning.
