Someone is calling members claiming to be conducting bogus
survey
The following letter to
its members has been issued by the Experimental Aircraft
Association:
It has come to our attention that an individual or group has
been contacting EAA members by telephone claiming to be conducting
a survey on behalf of EAA in support of the Young Eagles
Program. The caller often inquires about the type of aircraft
you fly, the certificates you hold and other information regarding
your flying activities. EAA is NOT currently conducting any
surveys of our membership regarding the Young Eagles program;
however, we are asking for your assistance in helping us
determine the extent of this apparently fraudulent activity and the
motives behind it.
If you or someone you know has recently received a call of
this nature or are contacted with something similar in the near
future, please report the event immediately to the EAA Government
Relations Department by replying to this e-mail or calling us
directly at 920-426-6522. Please note the date and time of
the survey call, the nature of the questions you are asked, and any
other observations you may have about the call. Please also
be sure to let us know how we can best contact you to follow up, if
necessary.
EAA is dedicated to preserving the future of sport and
recreational aviation and at the heart of that effort stands the
Young Eagles Program. The commitment of our members to
providing young people with their first flight experience
demonstrates the very best that the recreational aviation community
has to offer and we are justifiably proud of your collective
achievements. We are deeply saddened that anyone would take
advantage of such a positive youth program by invoking its name for
some unauthorized intent and hope that you will continue to support
the EAA Young Eagles Program and all the good it stands for well
into the future.
Thank you for your support and assistance.
Earl, Doug, Randy, and Kathy
