In the context of the Central Bank of Jordan's commitment to warning against electronic fraud operations carried out using the name of the Central Bank of Jordan on various social media platforms or different websites, we request that you take steps to draw your clients' attention to such websites. These sites request sensitive information or details related to their bank accounts with the aim of financial fraud and information theft. This requires avoiding any interaction with them in any form, and referring to the official website of the Central Bank of Jordan to view any publications or announcements issued by it.
Please accept our highest respect,
The Governor Dr. Adel Al-Sharkas [Signature]
