The British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission issued a public alert after becoming aware of fraudulent emails circulating that impersonate Commission officials, advising industry practitioners and the public to be vigilant when dealing with messages claiming to be from the regulator. Authentic Commission emails use the domain extension bvifsc.vg, and recipients using a computer can hover over the sender address to check whether it is a genuine Commission email. The alert also points stakeholders to the Commission’s Public Statement 5 of 2026 on fraudulent emails for further guidance.
