A BAHAMIAN shipping company has been targeted by fraudsters - with a fake website set up to try to fool customers.
Betty K Agencies Limited and Betty K USA LLC issued a fraud alert yesterday after a website was set up to look like the company’s own. Betty K’s real website is www.bettyk.com, but the fake site, bettykexpress.com is seeking to trick visitors.
The company said yesterday that Betty K Agencies Ltd and Betty K USA LLC “are in no way affiliated with this site or its operators” and that police had been informed of the matter.
The statement added that any customers who had communications or transactions with the fake site should contact Betty K - the real one - immediately.
The company said: “Please note that we only bank with CIBC (Bahamas) and Citibank (USA). Any requests or transactions through other banks should be considered fraudulent.”
Anyone with concerns or who wish to report interactions with the fake site is urged to contact 322-2142 or email info@bettyk.com.
