AMTA regularly upgrades security on its website. A new enhancement for members listed in AMTA's Find a Massage Therapist® (FAMT) national locator service gives added security protection to member information. Now, when a user of the service clicks to send an email to a listed member, they are required to enter a two-word code, before the email is sent. As in the past, the email address of the AMTA member is not revealed to the person sending the email.

This added security as an additional measure to block those who seek to pull AMTA member email addresses from the service. AMTA makes every effort to ensure that member information is not given without their permission.

AMTA wants to remind members that there are many email scams. Some are emails that claim the sender got the member's email address from AMTA's locator service. This kind of claim is often a scam, which uses AMTA's name to appear legitimate. An email from someone who has clicked through AMTA's Find a Massage Therapist locator service comes in a standard form that indicates it has been generated by a search on AMTA's Find a Massage Therapist site.
