Watch out for fraudsters

– Amerindian Foundation

The National Amerindian Development Foundation (NADF) says it has not authorised any person or group to solicit funds or to transact any other business on its behalf.

NADF President Ashton Simon said, in a statement, that the group has received information that persons have been presenting themselves as representatives or fundraisers for the group to solicit funds for Amerindians of Fort Island, Essequibo, without its consent.

Simon said the fraudsters are said to have presented documents bearing the caption “NADF- to whom it may concern” or with his photograph and profile to extract funds from the public.

As a result, he is advising members of the public if approached to contact him at telephone numbers 645-1068 or 600-7229, or to contact the nearest police station.
