If you receive the email message below claiming that you can get a loan and ask that you reply with your personal information, please ignore or delete it because it is a scam. The email appears as if it came from email address GlobalFinance.ouvidoria@macae.rj.gov.br but, has the "reply to" email address globafinance80@gmail.com. Most of the time, when the sender's email address is different from the "reply to" email address it is a phishing scam.
