E-mails fraudulentos visam rotários

O Rotary International continua a receber notificações de e-mail fraudulentos direccionados a rotários.

Um deles alega que o rotário foi seleccionado num sorteio para receber um prémio e pede os seus dados de contacto. Outro e-mail, ainda em circulação, afirma que um rotário já falecido deixou uma doação para a pessoa, a ser usada em iniciativas filantrópicas. O remetente, que se passa pelo escritor do testamento, solicita as informações pessoais do rotário, inclusive uma cópia do passaporte e da carteira de motorista, para que possa reivindicar a herança.

Este é um exemplo de um e-mail que está circulando:
