Over the past few days a fraudulent message has appeared on
several scientific Internet sites requesting a "Call
for Papers"
and referencing Elsevier as the sender. This message is now
being forwarded to library listservs. It uses a fake
publisher
email address and tries to look like an official
announcement.
Please be aware that this is a spam message and is a fraud
that
is being perpetrated on potential authors since it asks for
money
up front. Please be assured that this is not an Elsevier
email
and Elsevier is in no way involved with this scam. Elsevier
is
working with authorities to counter the spread of this
fraud.
If you come across the spam email 'Call for Papers' please
do not
respond to it. We kindly request that you forward the email
to
eesservices elsevier.com. Thank you for your cooperation with
this matter.
