Advanced Fee Fraud Warning: PIDA

The Embassy wishes to warn the public that a certain Philippine International Development Agency (PIDA), identifying itself as a government agency and accepting tenders for development projects under its webpage www.pida-ph.org, is a bogus money-making entity operating as an advanced fee scammer.

There is no Philippine Government office called Philippine International Development Agency (PIDA).

Its webpage www.pida-ph.org is listed as a fake procurement scam by the Stop 419 Scams and Scammers, a website devoted to exposing scammers and fighting advanced fee frauds (419 scams). It uses a website located in Georgia, Atlanta, USA under IP address 198.54.115.3 for its fraudulent activites.

The Embassy warns the public to beware of PIDA, and disregard any communications from PIDA.
