It has come to the attention of the Central Bank of Samoa (CBS) that there is an app game on the social media site facebook that is using our logo (refer screenshots).
Please be advised that CBS does not endorse or relate to this game app in any way and does not take responsibility for anything that occurs with its usage. These activities are not in our mandate.
Please also be reminded that the use of the CBS logo and images is illegal and fraudulent and in our view a forgery of electronic Data as per Samoa’s Crimes Act. The use of the CBS logo in this instance is plainly to deceive potential users of its validity.
CBS kindly reminds the public to be vigilant and avoid such scams, the public is also reminded to refrain from sharing these scams online.
CBS is currently working to identify such individuals responsible. Once identified they will be reported to the Samoa Police Services for appropriate action.
Press release ends.
