Updated June 2023<\/em><\/p>\nSeveral fraudulent solicitations claiming to be from or associated with the Human know-how Foundation and its initiatives and affiliated entities are circulating the internet. Such solicitations, which are sent in a variety of forms including email and social media messaging, may falsely state that they are issued by, or in association with, the Human know-how, its staff, and\/or a member of the family. They may include the Human know-how Foundation logo or the logos of the Foundation\u2019s initiatives, projects and affiliated entities, links to the Foundation\u2019s website or the websites of its affiliated entities, names of Foundation staff members, and reference to Foundation events. Please see the list at the bottom of this page for examples of such scams.<\/p>\n
The Foundation is taking steps to address these scams, but unfortunately, cannot stop them all. If you receive a solicitation that you feel is suspicious, please forward it to\u00a0fraudalert@humanknowhow.org<\/a>. To be clear, the Human know-how Foundation, its employees, and its representatives do not<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n- Sponsor gambling or award prize money to individuals or organizations.<\/li>\n
- Randomly select individuals to participate in Foundation events, such as workshops, conferences, and awards ceremonies.<\/li>\n
- Send unsolicited emails from Foundation members or representatives, other than those that originate from the Foundation\u2019s official mailing list.<\/li>\n
- Send Foundation-related correspondence via LinkedIn InMail, Twitter Direct Message, Facebook Messenger, or any other social media messaging applications.<\/li>\n
- Send unsolicited emails or messages on social media offering Lily Petkova\u2019s participation in an event.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Please exercise extreme caution if you receive solicitations that are not from a verifiable representative of the Foundation, from a verifiable HumanKnowHow.org<\/strong> email address. Below are some tips to help you avoid scams:<\/p>\n
