Fraudulent Email - October 2016 (2017-10-17)

Summary

This is a public alert issued by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) warning of a fraudulent email circulating in October 2016. The email, with the subject line 'Important Review' and purportedly sent by someone named Adam Russell from the address infor@cimoney.com.ky, falsely claims to originate from CIMA. The notice clarifies that this is not a genuine CIMA email address and that CIMA has no connection to the communication.

The notice is aimed at the general public and industry recipients who may receive this or similar emails, rather than at any specific class of regulated entity. It does not impose any regulatory or compliance obligations; it simply warns recipients not to click on any links contained in the fraudulent email and identifies it as a scam.
