Misuse of CFATF's name by fraudulent services requesting fees for the verification of the origin of funds.
It has been brought to our attention that the name of CFATF/GAFIC is being used for fraudulent purposes: people wishing to make international transfers of funds are allegedly asked by the CFATF/GAFIC to pay fees for fictitious services relating to verification of the origin of the funds. If the customer fails to pay the fees, the funds are blocked.
In fact, the CFATF/GAFIC does not provide any such services nor does it request fees or have the capacity to block any account.
In addition, the CFATF/GAFIC does not maintain any regional office or employees outside its Secretariat in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago |
