Fraudulent Scam Loan Application Forms Using the Name of the IMF
We would like to bring to the notice of the general public that several variants of financial scam documents purporting to be sanctioned by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or authored by high ranking IMF officials are currently in circulation. Specifically, fake loan application forms on bogus official letterhead containing the IMF logo are in circulation in Malawi. The scam loan application forms instruct potential victims to complete and submit private information to the IMF, including personal bank details, identification numbers and other details to enable them to receive business loans. The contact information is always BOGUS and the scammers utilize unsuspecting individuals’ personal information for their fraudulent activities.For more information please see Fraudulent Scam Emails Using the Name of the IMF
