Important information about fraudulent websites and emails. Important information about fraudulent Red Cross/Red Crescent web sites and e-mails

There are a number of fraudulent web sites which are using the Red Cross Red Crescent emblems to request donations for disaster relief, including the tsunami disaster. Please treat these web sites as suspicious.

If you wish to donate to support the Red Cross or Red Crescent, you can do so through the authorized channels, which are as follows:

  • The International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
    (www.ifrc.org)
  • The International Committee of the Red Cross
    (www.icrc.org)
  • The National Societies of the Red Cross or Red Crescent
    (view full list)

There are also a number of e-mails currently in circulation pretending to be from the Red Cross Red Crescent - some of them claiming to contain job opportunities at the International Federation. If you receive any unsolicited e-mails which look suspicious, please treat them with caution.

To report any fraudulent issues, please email us so we can take action.
