SCAMMERS ALERT

The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (RT&CIPF) is warning members of the public  about an ongoing scam in which individuals are receiving calls and messages from persons  purporting to host stakeholder meetings on behalf of the Force.

During these calls, victims are asked to provide a six-digit code or click on Zoom links which  appear on their mobile devices.

∙ Do NOT share any numbers or codes that are sent to your phone anonymously. ∙ Do NOT click on any links received from unknown sources, including fake WhatsApp  messages or Zoom invitations. Clicking on unfamiliar or unsolicited links can lead to data  breaches, malware infections, and the compromise of your personal information ∙ Be cautious of unsolicited calls or messages requesting personal details. ∙ Never Accept Links from Strangers. Verify Before You Click: If someone sends you a  meeting link or a file unexpectedly, verify its authenticity before opening it, even if it  appears to be from a known contact.

These are attempts by scammers to gain access to your accounts and personal information. Stay  vigilant and protect your personal information.

If you receive suspicious communication or observe any unusual behaviour, report it to the  Financial Crimes Unit at 1 (649) 232-3286 or 232-3255 to share information on the identity of  fraudsters.
