UN warns of scam attempt to falsely raise funds for Ukraine

MADRID, 30 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The United Nations has warned Ukrainian citizens and NGOs on Thursday about a scam campaign that would be using the name of the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund to collect money and allocate it to humanitarian aid.

"The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has been informed of the existence of several messages, circulating via email and other platforms, falsely claiming to be issued by the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund" , OCHA itself has detailed in a statement.

These scams, which seek to obtain money and personal data for supposedly legal services in order to receive benefits from the United Nations, are fraudulent, as the organization has stressed.

OCHA, which manages the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund, has warned the public and aid organizations, civil society organizations and volunteer groups about these "fraudulent activities".

In turn, it has "strongly" recommended to the recipients of these requests not to provide any personal data and not to pay any fee to any organization that promises humanitarian assistance, since the United Nations does not charge at any time for humanitarian assistance.
