IMPORTANT MESSAGE REGARDING FAKE ADVERTS
It has come to our attention that professor Anja Smits' name and picture have been used in adverts (on various websites) for letting out apartments in Toronto, Paris and possibly other places as well.
Prof Smits is NOT letting any apartments. The adverts are fake and published by someone else. This is a fraud!
