<DIV>We have submitted an article to AJBM but the last part of the email address is not correct. Fortunately my co-author checked details and we discovered the fraudulent scheme. In our contact with AJBM, they told us they knew of the scheme. The big questions is why did they not notify other authors. My one question, that they have not answered, was how did these people got hold of the details of the submission details.</DIV>

<DIV>Kindest regards</DIV>
