Both the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE) and the Bank of Jamaica (BOJ) have given notice of fraudulent emails in circulation which purport to give advice on funds being held which are available for collection.

In a notice posted on its website, the JSE notes, “It has come to the notice of the Jamaica Stock Exchange’s attention that members of the public have been receiving emails circulated as originating from JSE and from addresses associated with the Stock Exchange, purporting to inform persons about ‘Accumulated Dividends on your Portfolio’.”
The JSE advises members in the financial sector and the general public that the emails do not originate from the Stock Exchange “which has not disseminated any instructional messages to the public”.
“Importantly,” the JSE notes, “people in receipt of such messages should not proceed to open or execute any program contained therein, as we are advised that these emails have attachments which may contain malicious software.” more
