It has come to our attention from several upset VFA members that there is a website that is currently exploiting the VFA and its members for its own purposes.Attention ALL VFA Members - URGENT WARNING - Misleading VFA Website
The owner of the website is no longer affiliated with the VFA in any way, and by choice, is not even a member.
Recently, he had tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to shut down the VFA Meetings in Perth. Perhaps he does not want his students from his past and present programs to meet.
He is now wanting you to enter your personal details on his website on the pretext to receiving VFA documents he claims he authored. Do not be fooled. These articles are mere copies of what you already have full access to as a VFA member, on the ONLY official VFA website.
Perhaps the real reason behind the misleading and unofficial VFA website is to spread his marketing material for his own business. If you choose to enter your personal details you will be marketed to, and this marketing is not associated with the VFA. He has been requested to remove the all VFA logos and references from his site but has failed to do so.
