Important Announcement:
During the past few days
(beginning on Saturday, September 1, 2007), many
Toastmasters have received a fraudulent e-mail
purportedly sent from seller@toastmasters.org
with the subject line: Big sell off from Sep
to Christmast Day.
The e-mail was not sent from
Toastmasters International.
It contained a request that the
recipient follow a link to what appeared to be a
legitimate Toastmasters page. On this page,
personal information was requested, including
detailed credit card data.
This illegal practice is called "phishing." For
more information about phishing and how to
identify this type of fraud and other internet
fraud, visit this link on the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission's Web site:
http://sec.gov/investor/pubs/phishing.htm. （已經移除連結）
To the best of our knowledge, the
only information taken from Toastmasters
International was a list of e-mail addresses
from online store customers.
If you submitted your credit card
details via the phishing scam, your credit card
information may no longer be secure and we
advise that you contact your bank(s) as soon as
possible.
Our security team is continuing
its investigation in cooperation with the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
As additional relevant
information becomes available we will provide it
on the Toastmasters Web site.
Note: The timing of this
fraudulent e-mail is not associated with the
transition to the new Toastmasters Web site.
You'll receive an e-mail when the new site is
launched: one section of the site will be for
the general public (toastmasters.org) and
another specifically for members (members.toastmasters.org).
The fraudulent e-mail is entirely unrelated to
the new Web site.
