Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands — December 24, 2025 — Invest Turks and Caicos (Invest TCI) is warning the public about fraudulent social media accounts that are impersonating the agency through the unauthorized use of Invest TCI’s name, images, videos, and branding.
Invest TCI does not endorse, promote, or facilitate trading platforms, cryptocurrency investments, or any scheme promising quick or guaranteed financial returns. Any individual or entity making such claims while purporting to represent Invest TCI is acting fraudulently.
The agency urges the public, investors, and business stakeholders to remain vigilant and exercise caution when engaging with unsolicited communications or online investment opportunities.
What Is Impersonation Fraud?
Impersonation fraud occurs when criminals falsely present themselves as a trusted organization or official to deceive individuals into providing personal information, financial details, or payments. In these cases, fraudsters are deliberately misrepresenting themselves as Invest TCI to create a false sense of legitimacy.
How to Identify Fraudulent Invest TCI Accounts
Members of the public are advised to be alert to the following warning signs:
- Unsolicited messages offering investment opportunities, trading advice, or rapid financial returns
- Requests for personal, banking, or identification information via social media, messaging apps, or email
- Accounts using Invest TCI logos, photos, or videos but operating from unofficial profiles or directing users to external websites (eg. Spacexsafe). Invest TCI has only one website: http://investturksandcaicos.tc
- Messages that urge immediate action, secrecy, or pressure to transfer funds
Invest TCI communicates only through its official website and social channels and will never request payments or sensitive financial information through social media or messaging platforms.
The agency is only located in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Anyone who encounters suspected impersonation or fraudulent activity is encouraged to report it immediately to:
- Local law enforcement authorities
- Invest Turks and Caicos via info@investturksandcaicos.tc or call 649-338-4772
The agency continues to work diligently to identify, report, and address impersonation threats and other forms of fraud as they arise.
