Spam Email to Schools Offering ABMP Email List

Several massage and bodywork school programs have reached out to inform us that they have been receiving email solicitations to purchase an email list of ABMP contacts. This is a fraudulent email, and we have sent a cease and desist notice requesting that these solicitations stop. We appreciate the schools who have informed us of these emails, and if you receive one we recommend that you simply delete it, or report it as spam if your email provider gives you that option.

The text of the emails is usually a version of this message:

Hi,
