Public advisory on fraudulent scams
- 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 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 in these scam letters is always BOGUS; unsuspecting individuals are requested to send personal banking details which scammers utilize for fraudulent activities.
