Asian Development Bank Warns of Fake Asian Development Foundation Grant Scheme
5 August 2005

Recently, a number of individual members of the public have alerted the Asian Development Bank (ADB) of a scheme where they have received offers of grants but in order to receive the grant, an administration fee should firstly be forwarded to the Asian Development Foundation. In this scheme, individuals have been sent correspondence which states that the UN, ADB, World Bank and European Commission are supporting the scheme.

We advise that ADB has no relationship whatsoever with the Asian Development Foundation and warns against such schemes that misuse the Asian Development Bank's name and website address, or claim to be affiliated with ADB.

Concerns regarding this matter or similar schemes may be sent to ADB's Integrity Division by email at anticorruption@adb.org.

Peringatan Asian Development Bank Tentang Tawaran Paket Hibah Palsu Dari Asian Development Foundation

Manila, Philippina (5 Agustus 2005) - Baru-baru ini beberapa anggota masyarakat memberitahukan kepada Asian Development Bank bahwa mereka telah menerima tawaran hibah namun untuk mendapatkan hibah tersebut mereka harus menyerahkan terlebih dahulu biaya administrasi kepada Asian Development Foundation. Tawaran itu juga menyebutkan bahwa program hibah tersebut didukung oleh Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa, ADB, Bank Dunia dan Komisi Eropa.

Bersama ini kami sampaikan bahwa ADB tidak memiliki hubungan apapun dengan Asian Development Foundation dan kepada masyarakat kami peringatkan agar berhati-hati terhadap tawaran program yang menyalahgunakan nama ADB, menggunakan alamat website ADB maupun mengaku berhubungan dengan ADB.

Jika ada pertanyaan mengenai masalah ini ataupun tawaran-tawaran serupa silakan menghubungi Bagian Integritas ADB melalui email di anticorruption@adb.org.
