  • Fraud Alert: Misuse of Heritage and Sustainable Development Journal Identity

    2025-07-17

    We would like to bring to public attention a fraudulent scheme involving the impersonation of the editorial board of Heritage and Sustainable Development (HSD).

    A scammer using the email address bdurakovic.hsd@gmail.com falsely claimed to represent the journal and fraudulently solicited payment by issuing fake acceptance letters for manuscripts. Payments were requested to be transferred to an account registered under:

    SUSTAINABLE RESEARCH SUPPORT SRL
    Municipiul București, Sector 1
    Str. Pitar Moș, Nr. 27, Et. 5, Ap. 17, ROMANIA

    This email address (bdurakovic.hsd@gmail.com) is not associated with Heritage and Sustainable Development and was used to fraudulently impersonate Benjamin Durakovic, Editor-in-Chief

    We, the legitimate editorial team of HSD, hereby confirm that no official communication has ever been made through the above email address, nor do we have any affiliation with SUSTAINABLE RESEARCH SUPPORT SRL based in Romania.

    Official Communication Channels
    All official correspondence from Heritage and Sustainable Development is sent solely from email addresses listed on our website and associated with our domain:

    @ardascience.com

    If you are contacted from any Gmail, Yahoo, or other free email accounts, please consider it suspicious, do not engage further with the scammer and contact us directly via our official emails listed for verification or assistance.

    We sincerely regret any harm or distress caused by this impersonation and strongly reaffirm our steadfast commitment to upholding the highest standards of ethical academic publishing.
