Learn the signs of suspicious activity

Suspicious activity for financial crimes can be both hard and easy to spot.

Consider these examples of potential signs:

  • Suspicious shops, websites, social media accounts, and businesses claiming to sell supplies or products currently in high demand
  • A business that doesn’t seem to have many customers but somehow manages to stay open
  • Your business ‘investor’ uses multiple birthdates or various names
  • A stranger offers to pay you $100, if you cash a $1,000 cheque for them
  • You get an offer from someone living overseas to buy the vehicle you have for sale on behalf of an unnamed person
  • Phishing schemes that prey on virus-related fears

Anyone who believes they may be a target or victim of a financial scam is encouraged to contact the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service’s Financial Crimes Unit at rcips.fcu@rcips.ky or +1 345 949-8797.
