BOJ denies issuing new guidelines, warns about fake email
KINGSTON, Jamaica – The Bank of Jamaica (BOJ) says it is aware of an email being circulated in the public domain, which is purporting to inform people about new transaction guidelines from the central bank.
The entity, in an advisory in the press today, said that the email is fake as it has not sent out any such information to stakeholders or the general public.
The central bank has since urged people not to open the email but to delete it immediately, noting that it has been informed that the email contains malicious software.
Meanwhile, the BOJ advised that any concern regarding the authenticity of any emails should be forwarded to the Jamaica Cyber Incident Response Team.
