This morning a professor at a US university warned me that they had gotten an email from a person pretending to be me. The email came from elisabeth_bik@yeah.net, and was signed with my name. But that is not my email address!
The email sent to the professor flagged a scientific paper as “The following article is fake. The impact on society is very bad”.
Maybe I should feel flattered, but it is quite disturbing that people pretend to be me.
So here is a quick warning that there are Elisabeth Bik impersonators using fake email addresses. My correct email address is eliesbik at gmail dot com and if an email comes from any other address that is not me!
Update January 2022:
Several other fake email addresses have been reported over the last months. I will list all of them here and update if needed. None of them is me!
