THE U.S. Embassy on Thursday cautioned members of the public of an ongoing tender scam fraudulently using the embassy’s name and logo to target businesses for the provision of solar generators and equipment.
In a statement, the embassy said, “If your business receives a tender request from a “Ronnel Fisher, Tender Section of the Embassy of the United States” from the following email addresses: usa@embassytenderdep.com or usa@embassytenders.com or info@embassytenders.com, please DO NOT ACT on this request and notify us immediately via email at: GeorgetownRSO@state.gov.”
Additionally, the U.S. Embassy noted that the U.S. Government procurement procedures follow strict regulations as outlined in the U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR).
“If you receive an email from any company or individual claiming to represent U.S. Embassy Georgetown, be cautious. If you get an e-mail from a company or individual asking you to contact them and pay them money, be cautious. These messages are not from the Federal Government. There is NO FEE to register for publicly advertised tenders by U.S. Embassy Georgetown,” the statement added.
