The International Pepper Community Secretariat wishes to draw your attention to fraudulent emails being circulated from external email accounts while falsely using the name of Ms. Marina Novira Anggraini, Executive Director of the International Pepper Community.
These messages did not originate from, and were not authorized by, the Executive Director or the IPC Secretariat.
The messages identified to date have sought to move recipients to a separate communication platform, including requests to create a WhatsApp group or share a group invitation link or QR code. Similar messages may also contain links, attachments, requests for information, or administrative or financial instructions.
Recipients are kindly requested to verify the sender’s complete email address before responding or taking any action. The displayed name alone should not be regarded as confirmation of the sender’s identity.
Verified Email Addresses
Official correspondence from the IPC Executive Director may be issued through the following verified email addresses:
ed@ipcnet.org
marina.novira@gmail.com
The institutional address ed@ipcnet.org remains the principal channel for official IPC correspondence. The Executive Director may also use marina.novira@gmail.com for direct communication with Member Countries, Associate Members, partners, and stakeholders.
Any unusual, confidential, administrative, or financial instruction should be independently verified through an existing official IPC contact before any action is taken.
Should you receive a suspicious message claiming to be from the IPC Executive Director, please:
The Secretariat is circulating this advisory across the IPC network as a precautionary measure to safeguard the integrity of official communications. Appropriate precautionary measures have also been taken to address the matter.
We greatly appreciate your vigilance, cooperation, and continued trust.
Best regards,
