Scam emails warning

Some reports have come to our attention relating to the receipt, by some authors and conference speakers, of an email message in English, with the subject "accommodation in Lecce, Italy - February 15 - 17.2023 - University of Salento", sent by travellerpoint.org.

This message contains an invitation to provide details of the trip you intend to make to participate in the conference (departure date, etc., and possibly other personal data), in order to make hotel reservations.

We wish to inform you that such communications are independent of the Conference Organizing Committee.
More generally, any information or communication that does not come from the official channels of the conference (website, easychair mailing-list) is to be considered extraneous to the organization of the conference itself.

Thanks for your attention.
