ILGA World has become aware of websites and social media pages that use parts of our name to promote services that ILGA World does not offer, and never has.
Most of these websites, usually promoted via dating apps, promote an alleged verification service for dating apps and sites, and ask for your credit card details and personal data to access registers of sex offender data.
ILGA World is not associated with any of these services. They are scam websites. Do not sign up.
Please always remember that:
- ILGA World and its regions do not allow individuals to sign up for memberships: only organisations can apply to become ILGA World members, and we review their application thoroughly
- ILGA World never asks for credit card details directly: membership fees and other payments always happen through the PayPal website or our bank account.
ILGA World warns the public about potentially fraudulent activities purportedly perpetrated in the name of the organisation.
We advise you to watch out for potential fraud – which could result in financial loss and identity theft – and alert us in case you come across any of those pages by writing to media (a) ilga (dot) org.
Victims of such scams may also report them to their local law enforcement authorities for appropriate action.
ILGA World monitors potentially fraudulent pages and works with developers, hosting providers, and reporting services to have them taken down.
