Warning: Fake email with NCA signature

Norwegian Church Aid has been abused in an email scam, where the sender encourages recipients to transfer money.

Norwegian Church Aid has become aware of an email from a woman who passes herself off as one of our employees in Kosovo.  We strongly advise against this email, and stress the fast that this email is a fraud and has got nothing to do with Norwegian Church Aid.

We have contacted Yahoo to have the email address deleted, but we urge everyone who receives it to contact us by phone: +47 22092700 or email:

 

This is the email:
