Warning on 'fictitious' LatinVision emails

It has been brought to our attention that fraudulent e-mail messages are being sent by individuals purporting to be representatives of LatinVision.

These messages have used the names of LatinVision’s management team, but are not sent from Latin Vision e-mail addresses (often they use Yahoo or Hotmail addresses).

Typically, though not exhaustively, the messages take the form of invitations offering membership or the possibility to participate in LatinVision events (e.g. “Conference 09”) as an individual or as part of a ‘delegation’. They ask the potential ‘victim’ to respond for further information..

Ultimately the recipient will be asked to provide passport and bank details, and finally payment (usually via Western Union or MoneyGram) to the fictitious LatinVision representative.

These e-mails are not legitimate LatinVision communicationss, and are in fact a form of advance fee fraud. Their objective is to mislead victims into paying for a fictitious membership or event registration.

Please note:

• E-mails from LatinVision are only sent from addresses which end in: @latinvision.com

• LatinVision does not use Western Union or MoneyGram to receive payments

* We accept credit cards on a secure server environment only (https://www.latinvision.com) with some other extension after this

• Participation in our events / conferences is by invitation only and is reserved exclusively for Members of the LatinVision Group and invited guests

Do not hesitate to call us 646 519 2452 if you have any questions

If you have received one of these e-mails or have any doubts about the authenticity of a message you have received from LatinVision please forward the message to security@latinvision.com for verification.

LatinVision Companies disclaims all responsibility with respect to any expense, loss, and/or damage of any kind, which might have occurred in connection with any fraudulent membership or event registration invitation.
