ADVISE
It has come to the notice of Department of Economic Affairs that some Organisations/People are sending e-mails attaching forged certificates issued by Ministry of Finance by using the names of the officers of this Department, to enable people claim awards/lotteries.
Be it known to all that the Department of Economic Affairs does not issue any certificate to enable people to claim any lottery or award; and therefore any e-mail or any other form of messages,
in this regard, should be ignored.
