The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is alerting the public in Bangladesh about fraudulent schemes that are misusing ADB’s name and logo to offer fake loans in exchange for fees. ADB does not provide loans, funds, or financial assistance directly to individuals. ADB also does not request personal financial information or ask for payments through mobile banking or any other channel in exchange for financial assistance.

Recent reports indicate that fraudsters have created fake websites, Facebook pages, IDs, and other deceptive materials to impersonate ADB and its staff. These individuals are using ADB’s name and logo to mislead people and solicit payments. ADB has no involvement in these schemes, said an ADB press release.

Members of the public are strongly advised to remain vigilant and avoid responding to any such fake loan offers. Anyone approached by individuals or groups claiming to offer ADB loans or financial assistance should report the incident to the appropriate authorities.

ADB is a long-standing development partner of Bangladesh. It works with the Government of Bangladesh and private-sector organizations to support development projects through transparent business processes. Any person claiming to represent ADB and offering loans or financial assistance directly to individuals is acting fraudulently.
