Fraud Alert:  E-Mail Scam Soliciting Funds
on Behalf of The Carter Center


23 July 2008

 

A fraudulent e-mail scam has been launched by an organization posing as The Carter Center, inviting participation in--and sponsorship of--a "12th International Congress of NGO/CBO" on the topic of HIV-AIDS and Climate Initiatives for the 21st Century. 

The message--which includes an official-looking logo with the Center's mailing address--lists the name of a contact in Togo, West Africa and encourages online registration of $350.  Do not respond to this fraudulent e-mail.  This event is non-existent, the e-mail did not originate with The Carter Center, and funds are not being solicited via Western Union or any other online means for such an event. 

If you receive an e-mail from
carterfoundation.usa@gmail.com, please forward immediately to The Carter Center at carterweb@emory.edu.   Thank you.
