Dear Members and Colleagues,

It has been brought to our attention that someone is posing as ISCB president Alfonso Valencia and trying to solicit money by using other ISCB member names. These emails look very convincing and concerning. These emails are NOT REAL.  DO NOT CALL the number.  DO NOT respond to the email.  

The most recent email address they are using is "Dr. Alfonso Valencia” <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.>.  If you receive an email from this address, please  report it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. / This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

ISCB has taken action to report these emails and has blocked the sender from our @iscb.org system.  

These scammer will continue to get creative and create new fake email addresses.  Unfortunately, there is very little we can do to prevent this from happening.  ISCB adheres to it privacy policy at all times and communicated with our members using only official iscb.org email addresses.

This is a public service announcement.  Feel free to contact us directly with inquires.
