Furthermore,

INSO has been alerted that its address and website are being used to validate email scams aiming to obtain money or personal details. 

All recipients of fraudulent emails that claim to be sent by the INSO or its representatives are warned not to access any links within these emails, disclose any personal information or reply to them, as INSO will not take any responsibility for losses arising from using such sites, services or documents.

Scams are directed in all cases at prompting the recipient to provide money transfers and international payments, or identity verification for allowing financial transfers. However, INSO clarifies that it does not have any competence to contact any persons or businesses regarding wire transfer applications and or to require any payments, or guarantees for allowing financial transfers.

INSO recommends that all those in doubt over any suspicious correspondence claiming to be linked to INSO should not hesitate to approach INSO and seek clarification by contacting info@ngosafety.org.
