Isle of Man Financial Services Authority warns of fraudulent emails using the @iomfsa.com domain

The Isle of Man Financial Services Authority issued a public notice warning about fraudulent emails and accompanying documents that falsely claim to be from its Enforcement Division and are being sent from an address using the @iomfsa.com domain. It stressed that it does not use @iomfsa.com addresses and that legitimate correspondence is sent from @iomfsa.im. The scam uses forged Isle of Man High Court documents and documents presented as originating from a local bank and a UK-based escrow agent. The materials include altered documents alleging misconduct by a local bank and fabricated enforcement actions, financial penalties and supposed victim compensation, with no funds ultimately received by victims. Following a review, the Authority concluded that the documentation using its letterhead is fraudulent, that the @iomfsa.com enforcement address is not genuine, and that the bank named in the documents has no knowledge of the materials. The Authority warned that recipients may be exposed to financial fraud and unauthorised collection of personal information that could lead to identity theft, and advised anyone who has received the documentation to report it to their local police and to report suspicious online activity to the Isle of Man Cyber Security Centre.
