We are aware of at least two instances of an authentic-looking email apparently from former president Matthew Chatfield being sent to people in the society concerning financial matters.
If you receive such an email, do not act on it. These are scams and Matthew has not sent any such messages. If you are concerned, contact Matthew or the Society office directly by phone or email; otherwise simply delete the message and disregard it.
You may also see messages from other society officials in a similar vein. Even if you are sure the message is genuine please always check with the sender directly before taking any action.
