Cayman: Fraudulent Social Media accounts resurfacing
2 December 2019
The Office of the Hon. Deputy Premier has notified the Royal Cayman Islands Police Financial Crimes Unit and the Cyber Crime Team of a another recent surge in fraudulent social media pages that has been contacting constituents and friends, both in the Islands and overseas.
If persons have been contacted by someone purporting to be the Hon. Deputy Premier, Moses Kirkconnell, we advise that you first report the fraudulent account to the social media platform and then block the account. If you have unfortunately gone to the point of sending them the “fee” please call your area police station and file a report immediately.
“With the Christmas season upon us we want everyone to be more vigilant with these get rich quick schemes. If it looks too easy to receive these significant sums of money then something is wrong with it,” said the Hon. Deputy Premier.
