Callers impersonating APNIC: Election scam warning
________________________________________________________________________
APNIC is aware of reports of Members receiving unsolicited telephone
calls ('cold calls') to encourage voting for certain candidates in the
upcoming EC election, and the calls are reported to be from persons
claiming to represent APNIC.
These calls are NOT from APNIC. The APNIC Secretariat will never call
Members to discuss EC election candidates.
Please do not provide any personal or account details to these callers.
There is a Code of Conduct in place for all nominees in the EC election
which specifically prohibits impersonating others and misuse of the
APNIC Whois Database for electioneering.

If you receive any unsolicited call about the EC election from anyone
claiming to represent APNIC, please report the call, the phone caller’s
number, and any other relevant details (such as any candidate being
promoted) to APNIC so we can investigate.

Confirmed breaches of the code will be published online for
transparency.
