Muitos já devem ter recebido um email de algum cidadão africano passando por algum tipo de problema, e que precisa de ajuda para transferir uma quantia absurda de dinheiro, e em troca daria uma parte desse valor para a pessoa que pudesse ajuda-lo. Essa semana mesmo recebi o seguinte email vindo de [email protected]:
”

Inicialmente receber um email com esse conteúdo pode parecer óbvio que é algum tipo de armação, mas por incrível que pareça, muitas pessoas ao redor do mundo cairam nessa conversa e responderam esse email acreditando que poderiam receber alguma quantia em dinheiro. Depois de diversas trocas de emails o suposto cidadão africano desesperado consegue convencer a pessoa que recebeu o e-mail à transferir uma pequena quantidade de dinheiro para uma conta como garantia. Esse email, como também diversos outros tipos de golpes são constantemente feitos por Grupos Nigerianos, não somente na Nigéria, como também espalhados por outros países.
Felizmente o conteúdo do e-mail e a quantia de dinheiro envolvida são inacreditáveis. Como podem os Nigerianos serem tão ingênuos a ponto de acreditarem que alguém poderia cair em um golpe como esse ? Mas infelizmente algumas pessoas caem.
E o que tudo isso tem a ver com arquitetura ? Bem, os golpes desses grupos estão se tornando mais profissionais. E recentemente fomos alvo de uma tentativa de golpe bem elaborado.

A princípio eles se demonstram muito solícitos e querem pagar nossa ida ao Qatar para conhecer melhor as condições do projeto, porém pedem para que nós façamos um cadastro no Conselho de Arquitetura do Qatar, que também possuí um site bem elaborado, porém com algumas informações estranhas – www.aarcq.org . Nesse site há várias fichas de inscrição, e entre elas encontramos uma destinada à empresas estrangeiras que querem trabalhar com Qatar, e com a taxa de registro de U$ 10.500,00 . Quando solicitamos informações de como poderia ser feito esse pagamento, recebemos um email com o seguinte texto:

Tudo bem, tudo isso é inacreditavelmente suspeito e obviamente não caimos nessa armação, mas acreditem, diversos escritórios no mundo cairam nessa armadilha e pagaram essa taxa, depositando em uma conta do Conselho do Qatar na Inglaterra, em nome de uma pessoa física ! Todo cuidado é pouco, sempre há a possibilidade, principalmente nos dias atuais, de arquitetos brasileiros serem convidados para desenvolver projetos no exterior, mas também existem muitos espertos querendo se dar bem.
