- Scam letters may appear on official letterhead containing the IMF logo and instruct potential victims to contact the IMF for issuance of a “Certificate of International Capital Transfer” or other forms of approval to enable them to receive large sums of monies as beneficiaries.
- Contact e-mail information provided in the scam letters is always BOGUS.
- Unwitting respondents are requested to send personal banking details which the scammers then utilize for fraudulent activities.
