The FSCA has warned that there is a rogue domain called www.fscaza.com which fraudsters used to send a phishing email to one of the FSCA’s service providers with the aim of soliciting financial gains. The domain has also been redirected to the FSCA’s legitimate domain to mislead unsuspecting stakeholders into believing the communication comes from the FSCA.
FSPs and other stakeholders are warned to exercise extreme caution when receiving any correspondence from the FSCA and to verify the authenticity of any communication received, particularly when this relates to financial transactions.
