Dear Members

We are writing to follow up on our recent communication regarding a fraudulent email that has been circulating and falsely claiming to be from the ACPGBI.

We would like to reiterate clearly that:

This email did not originate from ACPGBI

ACPGBI is not offering lifetime memberships 

ACPGBI will never request payment or personal details by asking you to reply to an email

If you receive (or have received) an email offering discounted or lifetime membership and asking you to reply with your details, please do not respond, do not click any links, and do not send any payment.

For your reassurance:

Official ACPGBI communications are sent only from @acpgbi.org.uk email addresses

Membership payments are processed only through our official website or secure member systems

We will never create urgency or pressure members to make payments by email

We appreciate your vigilance and thank those members who brought this matter to our attention. Unfortunately, phishing emails of this nature are increasingly common, and we are taking steps to reduce the risk of further misuse of ACPGBI’s name.

Thank you for your continued support of ACPGBI.
