It sometimes happens that people ask us to click on links in email messages, or on website pages. This can occur, for example, when someone who we are being asked to contact, has email or internet security settings, that stipulate a link be clicked to verify that the contacting person is not spam, or fraud, or phishing, etc. An example of such a circumstance we have seen, is a WWOOFer asking WWOOF Japan to produce a reference document for them, to be sent to a university office by email, and the university has such security settings in place. Please be advised, that we do not do this. We do not click on links. In the event that a recipient of contact from WWOOF Japan has such security settings in place, then you and / or the recipient will need to arrange alternative means. For example in relation to the case mentioned above, the WWOOFer will need to receive the email from us, and then in turn the WWOOFer can forward it on to the university office concerned. Or by using a different email address. The same applies to links on websites. If we are asked to assist people, in a way that requires us to click on links on websites, we will not do so. We will not click on links. Thank you for your understanding.
