International Rafting Federation

News Bulletin #2008/1

PLEASE BE VERY WARY OF DEALING WITH SHAUKAT SIKAND OF INDIA !!!

It has been brought to our attention that Shaukat Sikand is involved in an event called the Kashmir / 5th India Cup, which is to be held in July. We would like to advise you all that we do NOT recommend this event. Although our name is mentioned in their advertising presentation we do NOT support the event at all!  

We'd also like to inform you that due to continual unacceptable behaviour and misleading actions of Shaukat we have had to expel the Indian Rafting Foundation. It was also found that the only person IN the organisation was Shaukat. The ex-Vice President, whom Shaukat was impersonating through email, has confirmed all this and given us his support.

We'd also like to warn you that other areas where you may be affected range from illegal use of other peoples' or companies' or organisations' logos as well as signatures, rafts being paid for but not delivered, rafts being sold and suppliers not being paid, fabrication of elaborate emails for own gain and impersonating people by creating email addresses and pretending to be them.

Despite NUMEROUS warnings and chances to correct this behaviour the problems continue. We therefore have to resort to warning everyone in this manner. Unfortunately, because of this you will have to be wary of ANY emails from India.

We are hoping to make contact with the RIGHT people in India who can form a properly run, well represented and democraticaly run organisation.
