Warning: emails impersonating IGLC officers

Dear IGLC colleagues,

I have been alerted to an email sent in my name from presidentassociation277@gmail.com, with the subject “International Group for Lean Construction”. It asks for help with a “quick matter regarding IGLC” and promises more details if the recipient replies.

This email is not from me. If you receive this or a similar message, please do not reply. Report it as phishing or spam and delete it.

To help you recognise legitimate IGLC correspondence:

• Emails sent through the IGLC mailing list or the IGLC website will always come from an @iglc.net address.
• When contacting you directly about IGLC business, IGLC officers use their institutional email addresses—for example, frode.drevland@ntnu.no in my case.
• The addresses secretary@iglc.net, moderator@iglc.net, and webmaster@iglc.net are forwarding aliases for receiving messages, rather than separate email accounts. Replies will therefore come from the relevant officer’s institutional address.
• We do not use Gmail or similar personal email services for IGLC business.

Please check the sender’s full email address rather than relying on the displayed name. If you are unsure about a request, verify it using contact details you already know and trust.

Thank you to Trond Bølviken for bringing this to my attention.

Best regards,

Frode Drevland, PhD
