Scam Alert
American Mensa has just been alerted to a potential scam,
trying to collect personal information
and/or funds from its members. The scam references the
fictitious organization "Mensa World Affairs"
and claims to be trying to complete a bank transfer or
direct deposit on the member's behalf. At
this early stage, calls are known to be using a 714 area
code and may reference a phony Web site
(usamensa.org)
that includes familiar content, photos and faces culled from
our own
sites. If you receive any calls or emails from this
"organization," DO NOT give them any information
and DO NOT enter your AML password on this site.
Please note that anyone officially contacting you from
American Mensa will be able to confirm your
membership number and other personal information. Further,
please note that legitimate national and
international Mensa Web sites include the following:
A list of other Mensa Web sites can be found linked at http://www.us.mensa.org/mensaontheweb
If you have any concerns about whether a caller or an email
represents American Mensa, please feel
free to contact us directly at 888/294-8035 or via email to
operations@americanmensa.org.
