I recently got a warning e-mail from the CFA Institute for using the CFA designation without being a paid member. Some important facts to consider:

I mentioned "CFA Charterholder (2013-2015)" under the education tab in my LinkedIn profile

I NEVER used the CFA designation (my name, CFA) in any form be it LinkedIn profile, research reports or visiting cards as I feel it's like showing off.

My only question is does point #1 warrant a warning? I already removed that fact from my LinkedIn profile as a precaution.

PS: I got my charter in Dec2016 and I paid for 1 year's membership only to get the physical copy of the charter.

Pay your membership.

Hard to believe that CFAI will send you a warming out-of-blue without any kind of basis.

Pay your dues.

I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
