2024-03-12

Dear Members of the ESL Community,

We are writing to urgently draw your attention to a significant issue regarding the Engineering Science Letter (ESL). We have noticed that a fraudulent website is attempting to impersonate ESL. The official and legitimate website of ESL is located at journal.iistr.org/index.php/ESL.

The fraudulent website: https://aaceit.org/index.php/AACE (AACE International Transactions)

It has come to our attention that AACE International Transactions has replicated ESL's website, including its article contents, policies, and editorial board, without our consent or knowledge. This is a clear violation of ethical standards and constitutes an illegal act. We have taken immediate legal action in response to this infringement.

Please be aware that all activities and content associated with AACE International Transactions are not affiliated with ESL. Neither ESL nor the editor(s) assumes any responsibility for any consequences resulting from the content published on the imposter website, including any potential harm to individuals or property.

We urge you to exercise utmost caution when accessing or sharing information from the fraudulent site. We prioritize the security of your data and the reputation of the ESL journal and are taking all necessary measures to address this issue. To ensure your safety and protect your data:

  1. Always access the official ESL website at journal.iistr.org/index.php/ESL.
  2. Refrain from providing any personal information or payment details to the fraudulent website.

If you encounter any suspicious activity or have concerns related to ESL, please contact our official support team through our authentic website or official communication channels.

Your trust and safety are of utmost importance to us, and we are committed to safeguarding the integrity of ESL and its community. We sincerely appreciate your vigilance in assisting us with this matter.
