Beware of fraud

UNICEF is aware that there are Request for Quotations (RFQs) that are being publicly shared with the UNICEF logo and claiming to be from UNICEF South Africa. These RFQs are for wall-mounted infrared temperature guns among other related products used for sanitation during this pandemic. These RFQs are a fraudulent scam and this matter is currently being investigated by the relevant authorities.

The following email address is not an official UNICEF email address: ~~tender_bids@unicef-sa.or~~g so please treat it as a false address and do not respond on it. UNICEF South Africa will only place such RFQs here and www.ungm.org

Please contact: pretoria@unicef.org should you require further clarification.
