ADVISORY ON INDIVIDUALS AND ENTITIES MISREPRESENTING THE AMLC AND ITS OFFICERS AND STAFF

The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) warns the public to remain vigilant against individuals and entities unlawfully representing themselves as officers, staff, offices, or units of the AMLC.

These individuals and entities unscrupulously use the names or signatures of former and present AMLC officers and staff or the AMLC's name, logo, or e-mail address in their letters, notices, e-mails, messages, websites, or social media accounts to obtain personal information as part of their modus operandi to perpetrate scams and other fraudulent activities.

The act of misrepresenting the AMLC or one of its officers is punishable by law.

To guard against these illegal activities, the AMLC strongly urges the public to refrain from providing personal or financial account information to these individuals and entities or sending money to unverified or suspicious sources.

The public is strongly encouraged to verify the authenticity of messages received from, or transactions carried out with, supposed AMLC representatives and to report suspicious individuals and entities through the following contact details:
