International Evaluators Fraud - be alert
►Be alert about the following scams reported to MSPA (19 September 2017):
This week MSPA has been informed by one of our members that an international evaluator fraud is taking place. Therefore we’d like to share all the details we’ve received and to alert and inform you all. It looks like it is mainly focused on reaching out to evaluators from Turkey and we are not quite sure what the purpose or financial benefits are, however it clearly can and does harm the integrity of several companies, and the industry as a whole.
Scam alert! Reported to MSPA on 19 September 2017:
Please be aware of the following situation that has been brought to our attention:
Someone with a US phone number + 1 (641) 316-0393 added
The phone number is from Iowa, United States according to the area code.
The person has poor Turkish written skills, so we struggled to understand the meaning of the messages.
SCAM FORMAT
We advise you to inform your evaluators, staff and if possible include this on your list of fraudulent activities to monitor. Updates will be sent to you as soon as they become available, and all MSPA regions will post this information on their website.
