Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley today warned Barbadians to be on the lookout for fraudulent people who are seeking to collect money on behalf of Government, for the COVID-19 response.

Someone purporting to be Minister of Health and Wellness, Lt. Col. Jeffrey Bostic, telephoned a local business this morning soliciting funds to purchase supplies.

Prime Minister Mottley stated: “I want to warn people who are trying to be fraudulent and pretending to be Ministers asking for money.

“Trust me, if the Government is asking for anything, you will know, and it will come officially, but do not allow banditry to intrude into the affairs of this country at this time when we need people just to be safe, to be disciplined and to get through this period.”

The matter was reported to the Royal Barbados Police Force.
