KINGSTON, Jamaica — The University of the West Indies (UWI) is advising prospective students, partners and the public of the existence of an unauthorised website which is falsely purporting to be affiliated with the institution.

According to the university, in a press release on Monday, this website is not endorsed, affiliated with, or authorised by UWI and appears to be using the university’s name and branding without permission, while misrepresenting a relationship with the institution.

“The university also advises that the fraudulent website contains a personal data capture form. As this is not an official UWI website, it must be underscored that any data submitted such as name, email address, telephone number, or any other personal information via that site is not received by the UWI,” it added.
