BEWARE PHISHING: CBI never transfers funds

Recently, several of our clients have been approached by a source that claims to be the “Office of the Auditor” of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs/CBI in an attempt to fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as the addressee’s bank data and signature.

In these letters, CBI clients are informed that they are entitled to receive a certain amount of money as a result of a successful participation in one of CBI programmes.
The addressees are requested to fill in a ‘Verification form’ requiring to provide bank data and a signed declaration.

Please carefully note:
- not to react to any letters of this type;
- letters of this type do NOT come from CBI; the sender has made unauthorized use of the logo’s of CBI and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs;
- that it has never been and never will be CBI’s policy to transfer funds, as we are a technical assistance organization only.

Criminal investigation has meanwhile started to apprehend the culprits.
In case you should have received a similar (e) mail of this kind, you could help the investigation by sending me the original letter (and envelop) and email received by you.
