Police/Court

RCIPS are aware of an attempt to defraud previous victims of a number of Ponzi schemes (e.g.: Astute Capital, Dolphin Trust and ROFX) through a letter claiming to be from Commissioner of Police, Mr. Derek Byrne, and a company named FFF Global. This email is entirely fictitious and is targeting those vulnerable people who are already victims of fraud.

RCIPS can confirm that FFF Global is falsely claiming there are funds to assist victims of Ponzi schemes held in a bank in the Cayman Islands and that legal proceedings are in hand to release those funds.

RCIPS advise anyone who has registered with FFF Global to have no further contact with them and advise the public to not register with them should they receive an email from them.
