Scam warning

It has been drawn to our attention that ODI's name has been abused in relation to some email scams and other fraudulent or inappropriate conduct. Scam emails try to persuade the email receiver to submit personal information or to part with money, with the promise of later payments or prizes in return.

A current scam using ODI's name is outlined at the Scam Warning site:

If you receive unsolicited emails purporting to be from ODI, and have doubts as to their authenticity, do not provide any personal details or pay any money over to the person who sent the email. Please forward the email to webmaster@odi.org.uk, so that ODI can verify the email or warn users of the scam.
