Protect Your Personal Information
UNICEF values your support and protecting you is very important to us.
There is an increase in money-making scams, fake job offers and partnership opportunities that seek to take advantage of the public.
Some of these imposters may impersonate organisations like UNICEF.
Please be informed that there are only two legitimate domains used by UNICEF Malaysia and they are:
- unicef.org
- unicef.my
At UNICEF, we will never ask you to upload any personal identification documents on our website, nor disclose any banking passwords.
Kindly report any suspicious offers, emails and websites claiming to be from UNICEF to us at donorcare@unicef.my or call 1300 300 010 (Monday-Friday, 9.00am-5:30pm).
Please go to the following websites to know more about our:

Beware of ‘phishing’
With heightened media attention regarding the theft of personal data, many consumers – as well as supporters of humanitarian organizations like UNICEF – are concerned about the privacy and integrity of their personal data.
That’s why it is important to be aware of fraudulent Internet correspondence, also known as ‘phishing’.
Phishing is a type of fraud in which e-mail messages, instant messages and websites are used to deceive individuals into providing confidential, personal information. The term relates to the idea that people will ‘take the bait’ and disclose personal information, which can be used for credit card fraud and other serious violations of privacy.
Phishing e-mails generally appear to be sent from legitimate organizations, asking users to either reply or link to a web page to update their personal information. They sometimes contain an organizational logo and even a physical address, but the web address, or URL, does not match that of the legitimate organization.
You can report phishing and other online fraud to the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission at their Aduan Portal.
