However, email addresses are available to third parties from our Message Board pages.

Unfortunately there have been a number of cases of exploitation of our visitors. In most cases the perpetrators have been well-meaning sales people trying to promote products by sending messages to email addresses harvested from our site. In other cases, patients have been offered sums of money to help promote products or services. In still other instances companies have deliberately attempted to circumvent ISCAPPS for their own purposes. However well-meaning (or not), we must point out to you that these activities are highly unethical, and in some cases illegal.

If you are contacted by anyone with a product or service to sell, PLEASE report this to us immediately. Please make sure you get as many details as possible (name of person, name of company, contact address and phone number, date, content of communication etc.). Please forward any emails or printed materials to us. It goes without saying that you should exercise extreme caution in disclosing to anyone any personal details. If you feel that you have been stalked by someone who has obtained your information from our web site, call your local law enforcement or police (e.g. 911) , and then let us know.
