Notice - Public Warning - Bermuda Financial Markets Commission (2025-06-20)

Summary

This is a public warning notice from the Bermuda Monetary Authority alerting the public to a fraudulent entity calling itself the Bermuda Financial Markets Commission, operating the website www.bfmcommission.com. The BMA states no such organisation exists in Bermuda and that the fake website illegally copied the BMA's branding, text, and images.

• Nature of scheme: An unauthorised entity has copied the BMA's website format, logo, text, information and images onto a fake site (www.bfmcommission.com) under the name Bermuda Financial Markets Commission.
• Action taken: The BMA has taken action to have the fake website removed and has added the Bermuda Financial Markets Commission to its public warning list.
• Public advice: The public is urged to be vigilant of emails purporting to be from the Authority that may link to the fake website, and to contact enquiries@bma.bm if unsure whether a communication is genuine.

This notice is informational and warns the public rather than imposing regulatory obligations on licensees or regulated entities. Warning list details can be accessed via www.bma.bm/warning-list.
