- 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 receive large sums of monies as beneficiaries.
- Contact e-mail information provided in such scam letters is always BOGUS; unsuspecting individuals are requested to send personal banking details which scammers utilize for fraudulent activities.
- For more information, consult IMF guidance on fraudulent scam emails using the name of the IMF.
