LOCAL mega contractor NH International (Caribbean) Ltd (NH) is spearheading a co-ordinated business community response to combat an emerging fraud threat and has called on the TT Chamber of Industry and Commerce and regional chambers to assist in distributing comprehensive prevention guidelines as criminals increasingly target merchants during the high-volume Christmas period.

The company announced the initiative in a release on November 4. The release said NH has developed detailed fraud alert materials. This comes after the company identified a sophisticated impersonation scheme in which criminals forged NH documents and counterfeit cheques to defraud merchants.

“NH has documented at least six incidents where fraudsters falsely claimed to represent the company, with the most recent case in October 2025 resulting in a merchant losing TT$377,000.”
