UNIFEM Fraud Alert .
It has come to the attention of UNIFEM that fraudulent e-mail messages have been circulating the Internet. The messages, allegedly from UNIFEM or UNIFEM staff members, state falsely that recipients have been selected to receive money awards from UNIFEM and ask recipients for their personal and bank account information. Please note that UNIFEM does not provide money awards to individuals nor does it request personal or banking information through e-mail messages. Such messages are “phishing scams” designed to steal recipients’ identities and money. We urge recipients not to reply to them — please report and forward them to scamalert@undp.org
