<div>Dear fellow editors,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just wanted to share an important message about the event registration website Acteva.com:
<b>do NOT use them. </b></div>
<div><b><br>
</b></div>
<div>Although Acteva was on MIT's list of preferred vendors until recently, they are now on the Office of the General Counsel's radar for poor and quite possibly fraudulent/criminal business practices. The OGC is currently reviewing claims and considering next
steps. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the meantime, I wanted to spread the word to this list because I know many of you are involved in event management here at MIT. Seemed important to get this message out to you all asap. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>**If anyone is working with Acteva and experiencing nonpayment issues, you are encouraged to contact Brad Abruzzi in the OGC. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
