Alerte à l’escroquerie

Oxfam a reçu plusieurs signalements de récentes escroqueries menées en utilisant frauduleusement son nom. Ces messages portent souvent le nom et le logo d’Oxfam, donnant la fausse impression que ce sont des communications autorisées de notre part. Compte tenu de ces incidents, Oxfam appelle toutes les parties concernées à faire preuve d’une vigilance accrue dans leurs interactions avec des tiers par courriel, Internet, téléphone ou SMS.

Des tiers se faisant passer pour Oxfam pourraient chercher à obtenir vos renseignements personnels ou financiers, ou à vous exploiter en vue d’un gain financier.

Exemples récents

Loterie : Message envoyé par courriel, SMS, WhatsApp ou Messenger prétendant que le/la destinataire a gagné à une loterie. Les destinataires sont invité-e-s à fournir leurs coordonnées personnelles ou à effectuer un paiement pour réclamer leurs gains

Offre d’emploi : Fausse annonce de recrutement en ligne faite sous le nom d’Oxfam. Il est demandé au répondant de payer des frais (p. ex. : pour un uniforme, la vérification des antécédents, ou une assurance) avant de recevoir une offre d’emploi.

Il s’agit de propositions frauduleuses, d’escroqueries ou de tentatives de phishing (« hameçonnage ») auxquelles nous ne sommes nullement associés. Oxfam n’envoie pas de messages non sollicités et n’effectue pas d’appels téléphoniques pour annoncer qu’une personne aurait gagné un prix ou pour demander des renseignements personnels ou financiers. Oxfam ne demande jamais non plus aux candidat-e-s à un emploi de payer quoi que ce soit lors de ses procédures de recrutement. Si vous recevez un message de ce type envoyé sous notre nom et vous proposant un emploi, un entretien d’embauche, ou annonçant que vous avez gagné une tombola ou une loterie contre paiement d’une somme d’argent ou autre, nous vous conseillons vivement de ne pas y répondre.

Bien que nous prenions les mesures appropriées contre ces personnes sans scrupules, y compris des recours juridiques, nous tenons à vous informer qu’Oxfam et les membres de sa confédération ne seront en aucun cas tenus responsables de toute perte pouvant être occasionnée à un membre du public en raison de ses échanges avec des personnes ayant des intentions frauduleuses.
