Dear Colleagues,
We have
learned that so-called “Community
for Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) agents” are contacting our grantees and requesting
financial information. This is a fraudulent operation.
These “CFDA agents” claim that, in order for
recipients to drawdown federal grant money, they must first send the CFDA
agent personal information or money.
If
you hear of anyone being contacted this way, please advise him or her to pass all
information to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint
Center (IC3)
and local law enforcement authorities. This can also be reported to the GSA
Inspector General’s fraud line (1-800-424-5210), via e-mail fraudnet@gsaig.gov, or using the Inspector
General web form.
If
you would like to suggest a topic to be addressed in a future grants and
financial management bulletin, please also send your suggestions to Brad Lewis,
at blewis@cns.gov
In Service,
Corporation for National and Community Service Grant Offices
Washington, DC and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
