List of Fraudulent Websites

Summary

This is CIMA's master list of entities and websites that have used Cayman Islands addresses or branding but are not licensed or registered by CIMA and, in many cases, are not registered with the Cayman Islands Companies Registry either. It is an investor and public alert notice, not a rulemaking, and it is dated as at 23 July 2026.

• Coverage: Lists dozens of names, contact addresses, websites and email addresses purporting to be Cayman-based banks, trust companies, private banks, brokers, asset managers and similar financial businesses.
• Key finding: CIMA states these entities are not licensed nor registered to carry on CIMA-regulated activities, and inquiries show they are also not registered with the Cayman Islands Companies Registry.
• Impersonation notes: For several entries, CIMA adds explanatory notes clarifying that the fraudulent entity is unrelated to a similarly named, genuinely licensed entity (or a terminated former licensee), to help the public distinguish real licensees from impersonators.

The document creates no new compliance requirements for licensees; it is intended to warn the public and the industry against dealing with these unlicensed, potentially fraudulent operators claiming a Cayman Islands presence.
