### Alerts and safeguards
- Fraud advisory: Several variants of financial scam letters purporting to be sanctioned by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or authored by high ranking IMF officials are currently in circulation.
- Scam mechanics described:
  - Scam letters may appear on official letterhead containing the IMF logo.
  - They instruct potential victims to contact the IMF for issuance of a “Certificate of International Capital Transfer” or other approvals to enable receipt of large sums of money.
  - Contact e-mail information provided by scammers is always BOGUS and victims are requested to send personal banking details that scammers then use for fraudulent activities.
- Recommended action: Refer to IMF guidance titled Fraudulent Scam Emails Using the Name of the IMF for more information.

### Research on Africa
