Warning: Fraudulent Emails

CARA, along with a number of organisations, has been the subject of a long running email scam.

An email correspondent, purporting to represent CARA, makes job adverts or promises each random recipient a grant award as a result of a lottery procedure.

The object of the scam is to get you to register with an email address and to correspond with the emailer.

You will be required to pay a sum of money to get the job or release a cheque or to activate a bank account. The perpetrator will then take your fee and will then cease correspondence with you.

Needless to say, CARA neither requests people to pay fees as part of its job recruitments nor offers grants as part of a lottery process and all our grant awards are to risk assessed partners in order to perform targeted project development and emergency relief work. We offer neither jobs nor grants in the way described.

Please be aware that CARA trustees have already notified the UK Metropolitan Police.

We are further taking active steps to notify the Internet Service Providers to close the offending addresses down, and the telephone authorities to trace and disconnect the offending telephone numbers.

If you are in receipt of this email please forward it to info@cara-online.org, together with full email headers. For details of how to access the headers for your email software, visit www.scamletters.com/rss.html

Do not telephone the number notified and do not engage in correspondence with the emailer, by responding to the email you are confirming that the email account is active thereby confirming it is spammable and sellable.

For any queries please feel free to contact us at the above email address.
