The United States Embassy has been made aware of an ongoing tender scam in which the Embassy’s name and logo have been fraudulently used to target businesses for the provision of solar generators and equipment. The US Embassy in a statement said that “If your business receives a tender request from a “Ronnel Fisher, Tender Section of the Embassy of the United States” from the following email addresses: usa@embassytenderdep.com or usa@embassytenders.com or info@embassytenders.com, please DO NOT ACT on this request and notify us immediately via email at: GeorgetownRSO@state.gov.”
The US Embassy has noted too that the US Government procurement procedures follow strict regulations outlined in the US Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). As such the statement warned that, “If you receive an email from any company or individual claiming to represent US Embassy Georgetown, be cautious. If you get an e-mail from a company or individual asking you to contact them and pay them money, be cautious. These messages are not from the Federal Government. There is NO FEE to register for publicly advertised tenders by U.S. Embassy Georgetown.”
