The Turks and Caicos Islands Financial Services Commission issued a public advisory after receiving reports of fraudulent telephone calls from people falsely claiming to represent the commission. The callers are reportedly using caller ID that appears to display official Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force or other Turks and Caicos Islands government logos, and the commission stressed that it does not call members of the public or businesses to request banking details, account passwords, PINs, transfers, payments or other confidential financial information. The advisory says any call seeking personal, business or banking information while claiming to be from the FSC should be treated as fraudulent. Recipients should hang up immediately, avoid calling back numbers provided by the caller, verify any suspicious approach through official channels, contact their bank or financial institution to monitor or secure accounts, document the call details and report the incident to the police and the commission. Anyone who has already shared account information or transferred funds should contact their bank immediately and report the matter to police without delay.
