Virtual Security Reminder/Spam Emails
AAEA would like to provide a reminder to be on alert for spam/phishing attempts that may come via email. These are attempts to impersonate emails that come from our Board leadership, AAEA Business Office Staff and/or members.
As a reminder, AAEA will never request that you send money or buy anything from us, aside from membership dues, section dues, Annual Meeting Registration etc. Please keep an eye out for any fake emails that might appear to have come from AAEA, AAEA Board members, or AAEA members.
Please use the below tips to help decipher a legitimate email from AAEA:
- Hover over the from field in the email and confirm it was sent from info@aaea.org, one of our 6 staff members (see below), or any of our Board
- If your email accepts HTML formatted emails from the info@aaea.org, there will be a formal letterhead image as well as a signature that features the 2025 AAEA Annual Meeting logo.
- When in doubt email info@aaea.org or anyone in the business office directly for confirmation any email or communication you may have received.
