Fraud alert regarding the Voa Brasil program, which has not yet been launched
The Ministry of Ports and Airports surprised the nation with a crucial announcement, issuing a fraud alert regarding the anticipated Voa Brasil program. With promises of airline tickets at significantly reduced costs of R$ 200, the program attracted the attention not only of enthusiastic citizens but also of opportunistic scammers. These fraudsters are making false promises of inclusion in the program, exploiting citizens’ anticipation. However, the government confirmed that the program is not yet accepting applications, nor does it require any form of payment for future participation.
Precautions to take to avoid scams associated with the program
In light of these fraud attempts, the government urges citizens to exercise heightened vigilance. Any approach by media outlets requesting money on behalf of Voa Brasil should be considered fraudulent and reported. The program is currently in its final planning stage. Therefore, there is no official registration procedure, thus invalidating any claim of privileged access or early registration. The public should be wary of websites and social media accounts claiming to represent the program, as they may compromise the security of users' personal data.

Official channels for reporting and preventing fraud
To prevent the prevalence of these scams, the government has established specific channels for reporting suspected fraud attempts. The Fala BR portal, the official ombudsman’s office email, and a dedicated telephone number are available for registering complaints and incidents. Active civic participation is not only encouraged but necessary to effectively combat these fraudulent schemes. The government emphasizes that personal data should never be provided to unverified and unknown sources, protecting the integrity of citizens’ personal information and the effectiveness of the Voa Brasil program after its official launch.
