Reading Voluntary Action is aware some people and organisations have recently received an email from one of a variety of @gmail.com email addresses containing an offer to sell a mailing list of RVA contacts.

We would advise recipients to treat this email as a scam purporting to ‘sell’ the email addresses published with permission on the Organisation Directory on our website.

We are grateful to those who have brought this to our attention.
