Common questions
Is grameen-info.org legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns grameen-info.org?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for grameen-info.org. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.
